Roland Walker 99ecfc3651 devscript: add `cask_namer` This script implements naming rules for App-based Casks as currently documented. After some real-world testing, this logic should be merged into `brew cask create`. This commit adds `doc/CASK_NAMING_REFERENCE.md`, and reduces `CONTRIBUTING.md` by 422 words.		2014-03-07 13:43:40 -05:00

README.md

"To install, drag this icon..." no more!

Let's see if we can get the elegance, simplicity, and speed of Homebrew for the installation and management of GUI Mac applications such as Google Chrome and Adium.

Homebrew-cask provides a friendly homebrew-style CLI workflow for the administration of Mac applications distributed as binaries.

It's implemented as a homebrew "external command" called cask.

Let's try it!

$ brew tap phinze/cask
$ brew install brew-cask
$ brew cask install google-chrome
=> Downloading https://dl.google.com/chrome/mac/stable/GGRO/googlechrome.dmg
=> Success! google-chrome installed to /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/google-chrome/stable-channel
=> Linking Google Chrome.app to /Users/phinze/Applications/Google Chrome.app

And there we have it. Google Chrome installed with a few quick commands: no clicking, no dragging, no dropping.

open ~/Applications/"Google Chrome.app"

Reporting Bugs

We still have bugs -- and we are busy fixing them! If you have a problem, don't be shy about reporting it on our GitHub issues page.

When reporting bugs, remember that homebrew-cask is an independent project from Homebrew. Do your best to direct bug reports to the appropriate project. If your command-line started with brew cask, bring the bug to us first!

Before reporting a bug, make sure you have the latest versions of Homebrew, homebrew-cask, and all Taps by running the following command:

$ brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask && brew cleanup
