This directory is the initial seed for the lolay/tap Homebrew tap. It is not used from inside this repo — it lives here until someone bootstraps the external tap repo.
-
Create a new GitHub repo named
homebrew-tapunder thelolayorg (Homebrew's convention: a tap calledlolay/taplives atgithub.com/lolay/homebrew-tap). -
Copy this directory into the new repo:
gh repo create lolay/homebrew-tap --public --description "Homebrew tap for lolay tools" git clone git@github.com:lolay/homebrew-tap.git cp -r scripts/homebrew-tap/Formula homebrew-tap/ cp scripts/homebrew-tap/README.md homebrew-tap/README-tap.md cd homebrew-tap && git add . && git commit -m "seed: nowline formula placeholder" && git push
-
Generate a fine-grained Personal Access Token (or use a deploy key) with
contents: writeaccess tololay/homebrew-tap. Add it to the main repo's secrets asHOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN. -
Cut a release (tag
vX.Y.Z) —.github/workflows/release.ymlwill rewriteFormula/nowline.rbin the tap with the correct version/SHA256s.
Users can then install with:
brew install lolay/tap/nowline(No brew tap lolay/tap required; specifying the full tap/formula spec auto-taps.)
The placeholder in Formula/nowline.rb contains version "0.0.0" and all-zero SHA256s. The release workflow always overwrites the file on every tag push, so the placeholder is only used until the first release.
