Adding more repositories to the list of homebrew formulae via taps

What's Changed

Enables adding more repositories to the list of homebrew formulae via taps using swag/taps.

brew tap adds more repositories to the list of formulae that brew tracks, updates, and installs from. By default, tap assumes that the repositories come from GitHub, but the command isn’t limited to any one location.

Example

prisma can be installed via Homebrew however it requires the formulae to be added to Homebrew prior to installing. Outside of formation, this would be achieved using the following commands:

brew tap prisma/prisma
brew install prisma

However, the following PR provide equivalent support by defining prisma/prisma within swag/taps file and prisma within swag/brews.

Installation Demo

The following is something my team and I needed earlier in the week, we forked formation and made the change and decided to contribute it back upstream as #9 appeared to be inactive. If there is anything I can do to help get this PR accepted, please let me know.

Finally, thank you @minamarkham for an awesome piece of software; it's saved my team and I hours of effort in setting up time :)
