Toward's Homebrew Taps

A collection of Homebrew taps created and maintained by Toward. 🍺

Where am I?

This is a repository containing all of Toward's Homebrew Taps. Each Tap has its own Ruby file for the installation of a Formula.

How do they work?

Each file contains a series of configuration options used by Homebrew, as well as the installation instructions. Before installing a Homebrew Formula that is not a part of the Homebrew Core, a custom Tap needs to be written and installed. Homebrew will automatically install the relevant Tap when a Formula from GitHub is installed.

Updating a Tap for a new Formula release

1. Clone this repo.

git clone git@github.com:towardstudio/homebrew-toward.git homebrew-toward

2. Two things are needed to update an existing Tap:

• The Formula's Binary URL. E.G. https://github.com/towardstudio/toward-cli/releases/download/v1.0.0/toward
• The Formula's SHA-256 Hash.

You can obtain the Formula's SHA-256 Hash with the following command.

curl -sL <Binary URL> | shasum -a 256

3. Open the .rb file related to the Formula that needs updating.

4. Update the following values.

url <The Formula's Binary URL>
sha256 <The Formula's SHA-256 Hash>

5. Commit the updates.

6. The updated Formula will now be available for installation using Homebrew. Head to the Formula's own repo for instructions on updating.
