[FEATURE] Deploy to Homebrew #78

Closed joshmedeski closed 1 year ago

joshmedeski commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Installing gitmux is tricky for non-developers. I'd like to make it more accessible to more people.

Describe the solution you'd like As a gitmux user, I'd like to install and manage updates through homebrew.

Describe alternatives you've considered I realize the binary is available to download, but updates are not strait-forward as I have to track releases on GitHub and manually overwrite the binary on updates.

Additional context Love gitmux, so helpful. I think homebrew support will make it that much easier to use.

That's something I'd love to add. and not just for homebrew by the way. The thing is I don't use a mac so I'm not sure how to develop nor test that easily.

arl commented 1 year ago

@joshmedeski I'm working on it Since i don't easily have access to a mac at the moment, are you willing to give me a hand and try the formula when it'll be ready? if all works well it should just be a matter of running `brew install gitmux`

joshmedeski commented 1 year ago

I'm happy to help. If you put it on a branch I can manually test the formula.

This is a duplicate of #52 which I've just closed.

Support for homebrew is live @joshmedeski I've updated instructions in the README

joshmedeski commented 1 year ago

@arl what do you think of submitting the gitmux to homebrew core? Then users wouldn't have to tap.

arl commented 1 year ago

@joshmedeski I'd like it. In fact I looked into it but the process seemed to me more consuming than I had thought. Providing a tap (and making CI update it automatically) was a breeze so I haven't looked further.

I understand the user side difference between core and tap but I'm not sure I'll have time to get to it soon. Thanks for you help, much appreciated.

Is that something you'd be willing to look into?

joshmedeski commented 1 year ago

I don't have the bandwidth right now to get into it, but maybe in a few weeks.

arl commented 1 year ago

Ok sounds good. Thanks for considering it
