Plugin for [[https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot][dotbot]] that adds =brew=, =cask=, =tap=, =brewfile=, and =services= directives. It allows installation of packages using Homebrew on macOS and Linux. The =cask= directive is only supported on macOS. If =brew= is not installed, it will be automatically installed and configured.

** Installation :PROPERTIES: :ID: 597691cd-5651-400f-ada0-a68454d7825a :END:

Just add it as submodule of your dotfiles repository.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell git submodule add https://github.com/d12frosted/dotbot-brew.git #+END_SRC

Modify your =install= script, so it automatically enables =brew= plugin.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell "${BASEDIR}/${DOTBOT_DIR}/${DOTBOT_BIN}" -d "${BASEDIR}" --plugin-dir dotbot-brew -c "${CONFIG}" "${@}" #+END_SRC

** Usage :PROPERTIES: :ID: 2e816835-29cf-4747-8d19-9db69717f515 :END:

*** Directives

| Directive | Description | Platform | |-------------+-------------------------------------------------------+--------------| | =brew= | Install packages via =brew install= | macOS, Linux | | =cask= | Install applications via =brew install --cask= | macOS only | | =tap= | Add Homebrew taps | macOS, Linux | | =brewfile= | Install packages from Brewfile(s) | macOS, Linux | | =services= | Start services via =brew services start= | macOS, Linux |
