    ๐Ÿบ The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    Project mention: Run LLMs locally with Ollama on macOS for Developers | dev.to | 2025-02-05

  3. Homebrew-cask

    ๐Ÿป A CLI workflow for the administration of macOS applications distributed as binaries

    Project mention: Popular Mac app 'Bartender' acquired by new unknown developer | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-05

    curl -sSLo /tmp/bartender.rb "https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/ac7bd3c11799ce95a7057796e9d01db81796f381/Casks/b/bartender.rb"

  4. homebrew-core

    ๐Ÿป Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    Project mention: UV has a killer feature you should know about | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-12

    Yes, I am aware of all of those, although I couldn't offhand tell anyone the difference in tradeoffs between them. But I consider having to install a fresh copy of the whole distribution a grave antipattern. I'm aware that nvm and pyenv default to it and I don't like that

    I did notice how Homebrew sets env GEM_HOME=/libexec GEM_PATH=/libexec (e.g. <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/9f056db169d5f...>) but, similar to my node experience, since I am a ruby outsider I don't totally grok what isolation that provides

  5. homebrew-bundle

    ๐Ÿ“ฆ Bundler for non-Ruby dependencies from Homebrew, Homebrew Cask and the Mac App Store.

    Project mention: Ask HN: Developer PC setup automations for company owned devices | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-29

    Similar here.

    More than onboarding, there is also the question of changing your laptop, and having to setup everything again.

    Some pieces of software that help:

    - Humble bundle (https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-bundle) with a `Brewfile` stored in git and shared;

  6. homebrew-php

    :beer: Homebrew tap for PHP 5.6 to 8.5. PHP 8.5 is built nightly. (by shivammathur)

  7. homebrew-emacs-plus

    Emacs Plus formulae for the Homebrew package manager

  8. homebrew-services

    ๐Ÿš€ Manage background services using the daemon manager launchctl on macOS or systemctl on Linux.

    Project mention: How I ended up using Colima for Docker on Apple Silicon | dev.to | 2024-05-03

    Unlike docker-desktop or podman-desktop, you need to manually start colima every time you log off. You can work around this by using brew-services:

  18. homebrew-postgresql

    ๐Ÿ˜ PostgreSQL formulae for the Homebrew package manager

    Project mention: PostgreSQL 17 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-26

    How is your hosted managed Postgres platform an alternative to Homebrew (Installing PG on your local Mac)? There's also many Homebrew formulas that have PG 17 already like (https://github.com/petere/homebrew-postgresql/commit/2faf438...).

  19. homebrew-graph

    Creates a dependency graph of Homebrew formulae.

  20. homebrew-portable-ruby

    ๐Ÿš— Versions of Ruby that can be installed and run from anywhere on the filesystem.

    Project mention: RubyGateway: Embed Ruby in Swift | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-13

    Aibika (https://rubygems.org/gems/aibika)

    Ignored RubyEncoder because it's commercial

    DragonRuby is a whole toolkit, so I am not sure if it offers a quick cli to bundle a ruby script with its gems.

    I tried rb2exe (https://rubygems.org/gems/rb2exe) but it required exactly Ruby version 2.2.2 (docker pull txt3rob/ruby-2.2.2-docker)

    ruby2exe (https://rubygems.org/gems/ruby2exe) didn't work and looks abandoned

    enclose-io/ruby (https://github.com/enclose-io/ruby) doesn't offer installation through RubyGems, same with Ruby-packer (https://github.com/pmq20/ruby-packer), so not going to try it

    Portable-ruby (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-portable-ruby) is just a project where you download a folder which has portable Ruby in it, nothing else. It does not bundle your script with it

    RubyMotion costs, so I ignored it

    Using TruffleRuby had a bit more steps and was complex, so I skipped it

    MRuby did work, but not with the gems I was using, so I had to rely on their own libraries (https://mruby.org/libraries)

    Crystal did work on simpler scripts but I had to adjust the code a bit to make it valid for the Crystal compiler.

  21. homebrew-tap

    Homebrew Tap of HashiCorp products and tools (by hashicorp)

  22. homebrew-php-ext

    ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒ Core PHP extension formulae not suitable for Homebrew/core

  23. brewdo

    sandboxing for Homebrew

  24. homebrew-i386-elf-toolchain

    Homebrew formulas for buildling a valid GCC toolchain for the i386-elf target.

  25. homebrew-kleopatra4mac

    Kleopatra4Mac is an all-in-one prebuilt port of KDE's GPG utility for use on MacOS.
