Allow mk to be installed using homebrew #53

Open ssbarnea opened 3 years ago

ssbarnea commented 3 years ago

To ease installation for MacOS users that do not master pip/pipx secrets, it would be useful to allow installation using:

brew install mk

While I already made a formula that allows that, it should be noted that homebrew maintainers have a some minimal popularity requirements for adding new formulas.

If you want to help, be sure that you do star the repo and fork it, both of them are counted towards those limits. Once we rich these limits I will propose it again.

The current homebrew popularity requirements are: 30 forks, 30 watchers and 75 stars

If you want to make this happen sooner, please be sure that you roke, watch and star the repository, so we can fit the requirements for adding a homebrew recipe.

We are at 6/7/26 with watchers, forks and stars, a long way towards the 30/30/75 requirement. I suspect that the hardest target to meet would be the number of watches because github seems to be counting only the "all activity" watchers for some reason...

Slackadays commented 1 year ago

I don't know about that requirement, because my project got on Brew by having only 18 watchers and not that many forks, but tons of stars. So if you can focus on one metric, that might be good enough to be considered notable.

How about adding a Tap, so that it can be installed via e.g. brew install pycontribs/tap/mk?

ssbarnea commented 7 months ago

just work on making it little bit more popular (github stars) and we will get into brew.
