Homebrew (macOS)

Installation and Basic Usage

• Install:

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

• Install a command-line app: brew install <formula-name>

• Install a UI-based app: brew cask install <formula-name>

• Check brew state: brew doctor

• To install or update X-Code command-line tools (brew doctor can determine if needed):

  > softwareupdate --all --install --force # Get everything up to date
  > sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools # If that didn't update CLT
  > sudo xcode-select --install
  

• Updating brew itself: brew update Upgrades brew, and loads info on formulae

• Listing formulae needing upgrades: brew outdated

• Upgrading formulae: brew upgrade [formula] With no args, upgrades all

• Cleaning up unneeded downloads: brew cleanup -s (-s removes even latest versions. Without it, the downloads of latest versions are kept. Note that in both cases, the installs are still there and left working.)

Added Taps

• homebrew/cask-fonts : Allows install of fonts via brew cask.
• gabrie30/utils : Source of ghorg, to easily clone all of an org’s GitHub/GitLab repos. (I actually stopped using this, so it does not appear in the “Leaves” list.)
• isacikgoz/taps : Source of gitbatch, to easily update all repos in a directory.
