How to quickly update a tap using reveal as an example

brew edit reveal
# change the url
brew install reveal
# get the latest sha value
# update both in this github project.
brew reinstall reveal;
# check the update with: brew edit reveal
# note: if reveal is not installed on your computer... homebrew has a cask named Reveal and even if you have not installed the app it will show that formula with brew edit reveal.

Ohhhhh, so you want to have your own tap of this brew?

  1. If hosted on GitHub, we recommend that the repository’s name start with homebrew-
  2. This repo is named homebrew-taps ... causing brew tap michaeldimmitt/taps to work!
  3. brew create <name of your package> this will make an example formulae!
  4. check my formulae to see how it is done 🔥
  5. copy that code and paste it into a <name.rb> file for your homebrew repo.
  6. my formulae is super simple ... it just installs a script into bin/local making it executable!
# note: any brew formulae is able to be viewed after being downloaded.
# simply type:
 brew edit <brew name>

## enjoy 😅
