Homebrew Publish

Overview

Create or update a Homebrew tap and formulae so users can install a project's CLI/TUI with brew install OWNER/tap/<formula>.

Workflow

1) Gather inputs

• Confirm GitHub owner, tap name, and whether the tap repo already exists.
• Collect project repo URL, release tag/version, and the source tarball URL or prebuilt asset URL(s).
• Identify build system and language (Go, Rust, Node/TypeScript, Python, or other).
• Define binary name and a minimal test do command.
• Confirm target platforms/architectures and whether bottles are desired.

2) Ensure tap repo exists (skip if already set)

• Create a tap repo using the short form OWNER/tap when possible.
• Run:
  • brew tap-new OWNER/homebrew-tap (or homebrew-<tapname>)
  • gh repo create OWNER/homebrew-tap --push --public --source "$(brew --repository OWNER/homebrew-tap)"
