Homebrew Formula Maintenance

Overview

Use this workflow to keep Homebrew formulas in sync with PyPI releases for Python CLIs. The pattern in your taps is: update version + sha, refresh resource blocks when needed, run brew install/test/audit, then push the tap update (manually or via CI).

Quick Start (manual bump)

  1. Verify the PyPI release exists and grab the sdist URL + SHA256.
  2. Update the url and sha256 in the formula.
  3. Refresh resource stanzas if the formula uses virtualenv_install_with_resources.
  4. Test: brew install --build-from-source + brew test + brew audit --strict.
  5. Update changelog/tag and push the tap repo.
