Homebrew Formulae

This is my personal repository of Homebrew formulae. I try to follow the rules as laid forth by the official documentation for brew taps [1].

Other taps I use

brew tap cavaliercoder/homebrew-dmidecode

Usage

WARNING: Depending on how you have your git configuration setup, you may find either HTTPS, SSH or some combination thereof based git pulls easiest to support from the command line. Using the HTTPS git pull syntax implies that you already have a local ~/.gitconfig setup to accept git tokens stored at .git-credentials for authentication. Whereas when using the SSH git pull syntax, it is assumed that you have your ssh-agent setup and the proper SSH key loaded.

My collection of formulae in use in my environment will always be found in the root of the Formula directory. I keep my casks separated in their own Casks directory. Note that you need not specify either one of these herein mentioned directories!

# Defaults to a HTTPS git pull
brew tap syn-net/homebrew-formulae

An install of the daemon ddclient resides in my Formula directory and is installed like so:

# Formula
brew install syn-net/Formula/ddclient

The install of the awesome mpv video player sits in my Casks directory and is done the same way:

# Casks do not require the word formulae in front of it
brew install syn-net/Formula/mpv

git clone using SSH

You should use one or the other, but not both!

# defaults to a SSH git pull
brew tap -v [email protected]:syn-net/homebrew-formulae [email protected]:syn-net/homebrew-formulae

# Formula
brew install [email protected]:syn-net/formulae/mpd # -vd
# Cask
brew install --cask [email protected]:syn-net/formulae/mpv # -vd
brew install --cask [email protected]:syn-net/formulae/cantata # -vd

Uninstall

brew untap syn-net/homebrew-formulae
#brew untap -v [email protected]:syn-net/homebrew-formulae [email protected]:syn-net/homebrew-formulae
