Homebrew + Strap is a winning combination. (https://github.com/MikeMcQuaid/strap https://github.com/MikeMcQuaid/strap)
But I do think that the various taps and casks and sprockets and bits are potentially getting out of hand. Homebrew 2.0 - New API and usage pattern?
However:
cask outdated: Finally! Thank you!
search: Updates most welcome.
And plenty of others. Thanks for all. And one tip:
export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1
That saves me no end of time and irritation on slower networks. And on faster networks, too. I don't want auto-update on by default, but if it has to be, so be it. There's the fix.
- mikemcquaid 10y agoWe'll see what happens but if it's up to me Homebrew 2.0 with a new formula API will never happen. Yes, we have a bunch of cruft that we could kill but breaking all existing formulae (particularly 3rd-party formulae) seems like a price not work paying. Similarly, if you find auto-update helpful but it runs too often check out `export HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS=300` which would bump the check time from 60 seconds to 5 minutes.
