Erikw's Homebrew Tap

My own Homebrew tap featuring formulas for:

• ozangulle/xdg-urlview
• erikw/restic-automatic-backup-scheduler

How do I install these formulae?

As one command brew install erikw/tap/<formula>, or brew tap erikw/tap followed by brew install <formula>.

Here are all formulas provided by this tap:

$ brew install erikw/tap/xdg-urlview
$ brew install erikw/tap/restic-automatic-backup-scheduler

Documentation

brew help, man brew or check Homebrew's documentation.

• How to upload bottles - https://brew.sh/2020/11/18/homebrew-tap-with-bottles-uploaded-to-github-releases/

Development

• Clone this git repo with the ssh protocol instead of https, by tapping. You should really clone the repo with brew-tap, as otherwise commands like brew-audit won't work.

  $ brew tap erikw/tap git@github.com:erikw/homebrew-tap.git

  • At a later point, return here with:

    cd "$(brew --repository erikw/homebrew-tap)"

• Setup a GitHub personal access token
  • Create new token: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=gist,repo,workflow&description=Homebrew
  • Add it to .env:

    echo 'HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN=your_token_here' >> .env

  • Make sure to have https://direnv.net/ installed in your shell so it will be loaded.
• To create a new Formula:

  $ brew --tap erikw/homebrew-tap <url-to-source-files.tar.gz>

• Build from source:

  $ brew install --verbose --debug --build-from-source restic-automatic-backup-scheduler
  $ brew reinstall --build-from-source restic-automatic-backup-scheduler

• Test a formula for erros:

  $ brew audit --new-formula restic-automatic-backup-scheduler
  $ brew audit --strict --online restic-automatic-backup-scheduler

• Run tests only:

  $ brew test restic-automatic-backup-scheduler

• Update a version & build new bottles bottles:
  1. Create a PR in the GitHub repo
     • Only one file changed per PR: Autosquash can't split commits that modify multiple files.
     • For easy version upgrades:

     $ brew bump-formula-pr --version 7.3.0 restic-automatic-backup-scheduler
     $ brew bump-formula-pr --version 7.3.0 restic-automatic-backup-scheduler-check

  2. Wait for the PR builds test.yml to become green
  3. Apply the PR label pr-pull. This will trigger the second flow from publish.yml will run and create the bottle.
