 - add --script filename.sh flag that prints out an equivalent bash script to a file
 - reconsider relative symlinks to be more stow compatible? Maybe with --type relative|absolute flag?

+
+## locally
+
+Need to release with an unpushed new tag each time. Otherwise you get an error like:
+
+```
+   ⨯ release failed after 1.62s error=scm releases: failed to publish artifacts: failed to upload checksums.txt after 1 tries: POST https://uploads.github.com/repos/bbkane/fling/releases/54053584/assets?name=checksums.txt: 422 Validation Failed [{Resource:ReleaseAsset Field:name Code:already_exists Message:}]
+```
+Need to export GITHUB_TOKEN and KEY_GITHUB_GORELEASER_TO_HOMEBREW_TAP (see KeePassXC)
+
+```
+$ goreleaser release --rm-dist
+```
+
+Now that a local release is working, I'll try the CI/CD to avoid the following error?
+
+```
+    ⨯ release failed after 31.30s error=homebrew tap formula: failed to publish artifacts: PUT https://api.github.com/repos/bbkane/homebrew-tap/contents/Formula/fling.rb: 404 Not Found []
+```
+
+Still got it. I updated the repo secret to be obviously wrong. Let's see if the error message changes.
+
+```
+   ⨯ release failed after 15.99s error=homebrew tap formula: failed to publish artifacts: GET https://api.github.com/repos/bbkane/homebrew-tap/contents/Formula/fling.rb: 401 Bad credentials []
+```
+
+So that wasn't it...
+
+Looking at the previous release, when I GET that file I don't get a 404 lile goreleaser says it does - https://api.github.com/repos/bbkane/homebrew-tap/contents/Formula/fling.rb
