CAKEBREW BREW LINL INSTALL
It depends on fish shell, so install it first: brew install fish Luckily for all of us Connor Worley has written a script that iterates through all packages that aren’t being depended on and asks if you want to keep or remove them. brew tap beeftornado/rmtreeĬurrently, Homebrew doesn’t have any kind of feature like apt’s autoremove to remove unused dependencies - brew doesn’t make a distinction between packages explicitly installed by the user and those installed as dependencies. Tap this repository and install via brew itself. It's an external command for Homebrew that provides a new command, rmtree, that will uninstall that formula, and uninstall any of its dependencies that have no formula left installed that depend on them. List package's dependancies as a tree: brew deps -tree PACKAGE List package's dependencies: brew deps PACKAGE List installed packages that are not dependencies of another installed package: brew leaves Removing dead symlinks from the Homebrew prefix: brew prune To link, that is, create symlinks to the package's binaries in the $PATH: brew link PACKAGEĪnd to unlink the package: brew unlink PACKAGE To prevent a specific package from upgrading when you issue a brew upgrade you can "pin" it with: brew pin PACKAGE Upgrade all outdated packages: brew upgrade
CAKEBREW BREW LINL UPDATE
To make sure the list of packages and their versions is updated run this: brew update Installing / Removing packages brew install PACKAGE_NAME Or to search both, package names and the description: brew desc -d STRING To search keywords only in the package's description: brew desc -s STRING To search for a specific package type: brew search STRING Open Terminal and type: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL )" Packages are called formulae and repositories are called taps. Install packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local. Homebrew installs stuff you need that Apple didn’t. Similar to Gentoo's emerge, or Ubuntu's apt.
