If your software requires compilation, however, one problem is that your users will need to build your software from source. For help with this step, see the Formula Cookbook.
Now I can create a new formula for this tap with brew create -tap=jonchang/biology and edit it in the usual manner. $ cd $(brew -repo jonchang/biology ) $ pwd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/jonchang/homebrew-biology Homebrew has a built-in command to get you up and running immediately, brew tap-new. Taps are just a GitHub repository with names that start with homebrew-* that contain some Homebrew formula files. Homebrew’s built-in packages can be extended using third-party repositories, called taps. Suppose that your software doesn’t fit the requirements for the main Homebrew repository, but you’d still like to distribute it somehow.

Homebrew relies extremely heavily on its community to report and fix bugs that crop up in the packages that they use, since maintainers can’t be expected to rigorously check the correctness of 4,000+ packages. Homebrew has over a million installs, yet has a small team of only about 20 volunteer maintainers who deal with this huge responsibility. Many things are too niche, specialized, or complicated for the Homebrew maintainers to build and distribute. That being said, Homebrew does not package everything. Homebrew is an excellent cross-platform package manager, supporting macOS, Linux, and Windows 10. After a few years of contributions I was asked to become a maintainer and was recently elected to serve on the Homebrew project leadership committee. I’ve been using the Homebrew package manager for nearly a decade. Maintain your own Homebrew repository, with binary bottles
