But do you have a way to migrate to new hardware when the time comes?

  Basically grabbing a saved Brewfile[1], running `brew bundle install` and waiting a while. [1]https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle

    Do you know of an easy way to create a brew bundle from already installed applications?

        Thanks. Totally missed that. Edit: Huh, only 90 packages. I was expecting more!

    Fun trivia: the original implementation[0] was 17 lines of Ruby, which was absolutely terrible because I didn't know what I was doing. I'm happy to see that it's grown so much! [0]: https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/pull/24107 https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/pull/24107

      Projects are often like stone soup, it takes somebody to kick the process off, and I thank you for that. I saw that it now supports Whalebrew[1], which seems interesting. One of the issues that I have with Brew is that often my need is temporary and that I want to be able to clean up afterwards (similar to `git stash`).
