    🍻 A CLI workflow for the administration of macOS applications distributed as binaries

  • Follow the Homebrew file for installing Microsoft Edge, as it contains the folders to be removed when deleting Edge with brew: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/08f8ed4f738f2245fe8166d64dbc68b4b26add7b/Casks/microsoft-edge.rb (check the "trash" list)

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • This is exactly why you'd use a package manager. If you're comfortable with using CLIs, I highly recommend using Homebrew to install software. A lot of macos apps are available on it, you can install with brew install , update everything you've installed with it using brew update && brew upgrade. And of course you can uninstall the app and delete related files using brew uninstall or brew remove.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • AppTrap

  • I still use AppTrap. Hasn't been updated for ages but still works perfectly fine.
