Add to Homebrew

[MarcMogdanz]

It would be nice to install klog via Homebrew so I don't have to worry about installing/updating

I already love it, it's better than my current setup which is in a similar format but on paper :^)

[jotaen]

Better distribution is high up on the todo list, Homebrew will come soon!

[jotaen]

Until homebrew & co is ready to go, I just added a “version” subcommand, so that you can conveniently check for updates from within the tool via klog version.

That’s still a manual check of course, but it’s hopefully a bit more convenient than having to visit Github.

[jotaen]

So, I have setup something. It’s not (!) tested though, so I have no idea whether it works or not. (I don’t use Homebrew myself and don’t want to install it.)

Would appreciate if someone could try it out and/or give me tips how to improve the formula. Also unsure how Homebrew deals with Gatekeeper, since the binary isn’t signed.

[MarcMogdanz]

I can't really give you tips for your formula but I've tried installing it and got an error.

I added your repo as a tap:

➜  ~ brew tap jotaen/homebrew-klog

If you haven't already, I'd recommend looking into https://goreleaser.com/. I've not used it personally, but I've seen it used by other popular Go projects and it looks very helpful in this area.

[jotaen]

@jpoehls ah good hint, thanks! I have heard of it but also didn’t look into it yet.

[vladdeSV]

Just wanted to mention that the (almost) latest release of klog (v3.0) works with brew really well on macOS. I just ran brew tap jotaen/klog and it works perfectly.

Could I ask you @jotaen to update the homebrew version to v3.1?

[jotaen]

Ah terrific – I pushed a fix recently but wasn’t able to verify yet that it all works. So thanks for testing 🎉

I have updated the tap with the latest release. (Note to self: automate this process.)
