Homebrew cask (custom tap in this repo)
April 30, 2026 · View on GitHub
Decision: Binky is distributed via a cask in this application repository, not a separate homebrew-* tap repo. Users add it once with a custom remote:
brew tap heyderekj/binky https://github.com/heyderekj/binky
brew install --cask binky
Rationale: One repo, one source of truth; release.sh updates binky.rb (version and sha256 from the release zip) on every publish. No sync step with a second Homebrew repository.
After upgrades: Homebrew keeps previous cask payloads under Caskroom until cleanup. That can make Finder’s Open With menu show two Binkys (two versions). Run brew cleanup binky or brew cleanup to drop old installs.
Optional later: A maintainer or community member can also open a pull request to homebrew-cask so brew install --cask binky works without a tap, subject to Homebrew’s notability and audit rules. This file does not block that; the cask format is the same.
