Homebrew (macOS)

This repository now includes a helper script to generate a Homebrew formula from the latest GitHub release artifacts. Publishing to Homebrew requires a tap repository (for example, just-every/homebrew-tap). Once a tap exists, you can generate and publish the formula like so:

1. Generate the formula for the latest version:

scripts/generate-homebrew-formula.sh

2. Copy the generated Code.rb into your tap repo under Formula/Code.rb and update the url/sha256 if needed.

3. Users can then install with:

brew tap just-every/tap
brew install code

Notes

• The formula expects release assets named like:
  • code-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • code-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
• The CLI is installed as code and coder shims for compatibility.
