Plan to register Thunder Client CLI as a Homebrew formula?

Open solzard opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Please describe feature/problem details and solution you'd like. It would be nice if we could install Thunder Client CLI with brew command (e.g. brew install tc-cli). Do you have the plan to register the CLI on Homebrew formulae in the future?

One question: Is there any restriction for you install from npm?

No, npm i -g @thunderclient/cli works totally fine.

The reason I prefer brew install is that

  1. I personally hesitate over installing stuff to global Node.js (npm -i -g) or Python (pip install).
  2. It's easy to control package installation, uninstallation, or upgrade using brew: End-users can forget backend languages. Just brew {install, uninstall, upgrade} works.
  3. brew bundle dump provides Brewfile, a full list of installed commands. Thanks to this, we can restore the same environment on new machines seamlessly.
