  • pantry

    pkg manifests (by pkgxdev)

  • fascinating that the "creator of brew" didn't go ahead and shard the package names since it's almost inevitable that GitHub's /tree/ is going to start :sad-trombone: since it is not designed for viewing thousands of directories: https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/tree/main/projects

    I'm also genuinely surprised they abandoned the sha256 from brew (e.g. "welp, it is what it is" https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/blob/main/projects/httpie.... ). Ah, it's an implied .sha256 path from their magic distribution something something: https://dist.pkgx.dev/?prefix=httpie.io/

  • fuck

    Fix command line spelling errors like it's 1999.

  • So this tool is like "fuck", as it looks at the previous command and figures out what the user wanted to do.

  • homebrew-bundle

    📦 Bundler for non-Ruby dependencies from Homebrew, Homebrew Cask and the Mac App Store.

  • > It's strange that people are so against declarative systems, or even file-based OS configuration. When I get my new Macbook I was up-and-running within a few minutes. I can't imagine maintaining a list of brews I need to re-install just to set up everything + my configs + everything else.

    I haven’t had time to try Nix yet, but HomeBrew does have a declarative-ish workflow that I’ve been using for years:

    [Brew Bundle](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle) let’s you have a plaintext file listing all packages you want installed on your system. Add a line for stuff you want installed, delete a line for stuff you want removed, invoke it the right way and it will install/remove packages until your system matches the list. The initial list can be generated by “brew bundle dump” or something like that.

    For configuration, I find that a normal dotfile repo cloned into my ~/.config (with a script that maintains symlinks to config files in e.g. ~/Library) works well enough for my use.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
