Common commands for Homebrew developers

[Mrered]

Create a basic template for a cask

brew create --cask --set-name [cask] --set-version [version] --tap=brewforge/extras [URL]

Example of multi-architecture support

There might be a way to generate an automated solution in one step, but I haven't found it yet.

  arch arm: "-arm64", intel: "" #This can be an empty value

  version "0.9.3"
  sha256 arm:   "5299ea08af05a439ab3a5925dfa134b17084b09eabb83ae99adc0bc0523b2e8a",
         intel: "1699ca2777ae2cbe73b6620e67015be6b1b30d4d021f939a504ef6827c7d4248"

An example of the livecheck stanza in a project on GitHub

Other sources software should refer to brew livecheck — Homebrew Documentation when creating the livecheck stanza.

  livecheck do
    url :url
    strategy :github_latest
  end

Creat zap stanza

You need to manually install and run the software first, otherwise, it will return null values when executed.

brew tap nrlquaker/createzap
brew createzap [cask]

Script inspection and correction

# Check and correct the script
brew style --fix [cask]
# Check the liveckeck section
brew lc --cask [cask]

Update cask version

brew bump-cask-pr [cask] --version [version]

If an error occurs, try modifying the directory permissions:

sudo chmod -R go-w /opt/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/vendor/bundle
