This is a Homebrew tap for formulae for software developed by Pinterest
Using these formulae requires Homebrew, which in turn requires Xcode. If you have not yet installed Homebrew, a quick summary is at the end of this document.
Once homebrew is installed, simply run:
brew tap pinterest/tap
To install software, just use brew install with the name of the formula. You
may wish to run brew update before hand to get the latest version of the
formulae. For example, to install the latest version of plank:
brew update
brew install plank
To upgrade software:
brew update
brew upgrade # upgrade all software installed with Homebrew
brew upgrade plank # update just the plank formula
Please file bug reports and feature requests as GitHub issues against the individual project, not this repository - however, we do accept pull requests here.
To do development on these formulae, first fork the repository on GitHub. Add your fork as a remote to your local clone:
cd $(brew --prefix)/Library/Taps/Pinterest/homebrew-tap
git remote add me [email protected]:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/homebrew-tap.git
git fetch me
To propose changes, push to your fork (e.g. with git push me +master) and
submit pull request on GitHub.
We follow Homebrew's standard coding style.
The Homebrew developers suggest installing Homebrew at /usr/local to maximize
compatibility with existing software. To do so, follow the instructions on
their website.
This author prefers /opt/homebrew, finding that it works well enough in
practice and keeps a cleaner separation between other software which might use
/usr/local. To install at /opt/homebrew, you can use:
sudo mkdir /opt/homebrew
sudo chown `whoami` /opt/homebrew
curl -sSLf -o homebrew-installer https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install
perl -pi -e s,/usr/local,/opt/homebrew, homebrew-installer
ruby homebrew-installer
rm homebrew-installer
echo '$PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
brew help, man brew, or the Homebrew documentation.
