Show HN: Homebrew now auto enables analytics

3 points by edf13 7y ago

Running a brew forumula just now and I receive the following... "Updating Homebrew... ==> Homebrew has enabled anonymous aggregate formulae and cask analytics. Read the analytics documentation (and how to opt-out) here: https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics"

  Why? You can turn it off and if you've been using brew for the past year it's already been there. The analytics has been around since Oct 2018.

    Because I wasn't aware of it. If possible I don't want to support google in any way - first or second hand.

For those who are looking for how to disable this. `export HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS=1` or `brew analytics off`

This is hardly new. The page you're linking has been in their Github since Oct 2018. https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Analytics.md https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Analytics....
