~ brew cask install overkill Error: brew cask is no longer a brew command. Use brew <command> --cask instead.

Shouldn't this be brew install --cask overkill instead?

@xrubioj I don't frequent HackerNews (so I'm not an elite developer) but this worked fine for me:

~ brew install overkill

I see there is another PR open which does something similar to what you're suggesting. My guess is under the hood it all works the same but could break in the future?

TBH I don't know what the mention to HackerNews is all about, but my reply basically was following the instructions from HomeBrew in your original message:

Use brew --cask instead

I don't know the implications of not adding --cask have regarding future-proofing it.
