Description of issue

Hi, I'm trying to let users download my formula from a bottle. I am pushing the formula to my own tap.

I have already built the bottle and hosted it on my project's Github Releases: https://github.com/yesser-studios/yesser-todo-cli/releases/download/1.0.2/yesser-todo-cli--1.0.2.arm64_sonoma.bottle.1.tar.gz

I am trying to link this bottle to my formula but I'm not sure on how to do that.

[yesseruser]

I figured it out.

The brew bottle command generates a snippet starting with bottle do. I copied this into the formula and added root_url https://github.com/yesser-studios/yesser-todo-cli/releases/download/1.0.2 to the top of the snippet under bottle do.

I had to rename the bottle, because the name contained two dashes before 1.0.2.

This post might be useful for you:

TL;DR: Use the workflows created by brew tap-new. That should handle bottle creation (on GitHub Actions Runners) and uploading to GitHub Releases.
