@paulirish You can view the same list here (useful if you need to look anything up in their formula’s source code): https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask/tree/master/Casks

mathiasbynens commented 11 years ago

@cowboy Not sure, but I’d rather “install” them into my /Applications directory anyway, like other apps: brew cask install --appdir="/Applications" foo.

(“Install” because homebrew-cask installs everything into /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/, and simply adds shortcuts to ~/Applications (default) or /Applications.)

hkdobrev commented 11 years ago

Are you aware of any repercussions of installing apps into your ~/Applications/ directory?

@cowboy The only downside about symlinking apps I've found is that some apps ask you on start if you want to move the app to /Applications. For example the GitHub app and Sequel Pro asked me about that. The problem if you click yes is that there is already a symlink there and it becomes kind of a mess.

Fortunately there is a checkbox to never ask you about that again.
