Homebrew

• The Missing Package Manager for macOS

Installing brew

Homebrew (brew) can be installed with the following command:

/bin/zsh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Brewfile

The Brewfile describes the Homebrew Bundle of packages currently installed with brew. It can be managed with brew bundle. It should not be managed automatically, as currently-running applications should not be updated.

The Brewfile can be generated with the following command:

cd $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/brew/ && brew bundle dump --force --describe

The content of the Brewfile can be installed with the following command:

cd $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/brew/ && brew bundle install

Clean up installed packages with the following command:

cd $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/brew/ && brew bundle cleanup --force
