Dev instructions#

Release new version#

If you want to publish to Homebrew, you can create your own "tap" repository with a "cask" file for this script. You may want to Google how all that works. For reference, my tap can be found here.

1. Update CHANGELOG.md
2. Create a git tag + GitHub release with the release notes
3. Update the formula's url to be the archive of the latest tag. This URL will be in this format: https://github.com/USER/REPO/archive/refs/tags/VERSION.tar.gz
4. Update the sha256. Once you have the url updated, you can let Homebrew generate it for you by running this inside your tap repo:

   brew fetch --formula ./Formula/to.rb
