The brew tap command You can install and uninstall them with brew [un]install , and the formulae are automatically updated when you run brew update .
"taps" allow you to extend the list of packages that you can install via homebrew. by "tapping" a repository you download (literally git clone ) the repository locally. the repository wil contain ruby files (formulas) that tell homebrew how to download, configure, build, install, etc, an additional list of packages.
Taps (Third-Party Repositories) The brew tap command adds more repositories to the list of formulae that Homebrew tracks, updates, and installs from. By default, tap assumes that the repositories come from GitHub, but the command isn't limited to any one location.
The proper way to remove a Homebrew package is with the uninstall or remove command. The uninstall Homebrew package command looks like this: The remove Homebrew package command looks like this: As you may have guessed by now, the remove and uninstall commands are exactly the same, and get the same result; the removal of the Homebrew package.
As you may have guessed by now, the remove and uninstall commands are exactly the same, and get the same result; the removal of the Homebrew package. For example, to remove and uninstall Telnet (assuming you installed telnet on the Mac with Homebrew anyway), you would use the following command string:
That is, brew tap username/foobar can be used as a shortcut for the long version: brew tap username/homebrew-foobar. brew will automatically add back the ‘homebrew-‘ prefix whenever it’s necessary. If your tap contains a formula that is also present in homebrew/core, that’s fine, but it means that you must install it explicitly by default.
When you use brew tap on the command line, however, you can leave out the ‘homebrew-‘ prefix in commands. That is, brew tap username/foobar can be used as a shortcut for the long version: brew tap username/homebrew-foobar. brew will automatically add back the ‘homebrew-‘ prefix whenever it’s necessary.
