Cakebrew: GUI for Homebrew
- nittanygeek 5y agoLove that it’s installable via homebrew: brew install --cask cakebrew The cake is a lie, though. :)
- someonehere 5y agoThere’s a tap I use when deploying Macs: https://github.com/buo/homebrew-cask-upgrade https://github.com/buo/homebrew-cask-upgrade You can upgrade cask installs via an interactive prompt. You can automate this as well with a login or logout script in your MDM brew cu -a will look at all your cask installs and let you know what’s out of date, then prompt to upgrade them all, interactive upgrade, or none.
- FrenchyJiby 5y agoSpeaking of homebrew: As a new homebrew user, I really appreciate Brewfiles, kept in version control with other dotfiles, installed/updated via brew bundle -v See more info in the semi official docs of the subcommand: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle
- oxguy3 5y agoI hope they add support for installing Homebrew itself with Cakebrew soon -- that's the one caveat I see that makes me hesitate to recommend this to newbies. If the goal is to avoid the terminal, having to use the terminal in the installation process isn't great.
- rgoulter 5y agoWhat's the intersection of "not comfortable with basic commandline usage" and "benefits from using a package manager like homebrew"?
- brundolf 5y agoOoo very cool. And I love that it’s a native Mac app. Makes sense since it doesn’t have to target any other platforms, but it’s still nice to see!
- mobiuscog 5y agoHomebrew also runs on Linux.
