This repository contains UNOFFICIAL (custom) brews that have not been accepted into the master branch.
These brews can be installed via the raw GitHub URLs, or by cloning this repository locally and installing off the local disk. For more details see the "using" section below.
Brews in this repository are broken out as described below.
- custom: These brews provide custom functionality and may duplicate existing OS X functionality, though provide newer or bug-fixed versions.
There are two ways to install packages from this repository.
First you need to get your hands on the raw URL. For example, the raw url for
a generic formula example.rb
is:
https://github.com/AaronKulick/homebrew-alt/raw/master/custom/example.rb
Pass that URL as a parameter to the brew install
command, like so:
brew install https://github.com/AaronKulick/homebrew-alt/raw/master/custom/example.rb
Clone the repository to somewhere that you'll remember:
git clone https://github.com/AaronKulick/homebrew-custom.git /usr/local/LibraryCustom
This example creates a LibraryCustom
directory under /usr/local
.
Then to install a formula pass the full path to the formula into the
brew install
command. Here's another example that installs example.rb:
brew install /usr/local/LibraryCustom/custom/example.rb
