All you need to type is:īrew will update it’s formulae, look for the application you want to install and do it right away. Let’s say you want to install Firefox using brew. You probably heard about casks or seen it fly by in the console.

However, it can tap into it’s casks if you need Slack, Atom, Visual Studio Code, Java, 1Password or SourceTree – enough with the puns! It’s literally as easy as installing a CLI package. Homebrew uses formulae (or recipes) to install the tools you need in it’s Cellar. You can install maven for example by running: brew install mavenįear not! The same tool that installs CLI tools can install (almost) all our applications! me Brew can do more! (The windows folks probably know Chocolatey)

Hence setting up a new machine can seem scary task at times, but fear not! For CLI tools we solved that problem long long ago with Homebrew, or as you probably know it: brew From maven, via tl dr, stopping at kubectl to tmux. Over time developers load command line tools like people are buying toilet paper these days.

It’s great… but it is missing all the tools I rely on every day! My work requires me to jump around in a variety of tools and technology stacks, hence I need to install a lot of different tools and be able to support different development environments. A new computer is great 💻🎉 – It’s a clean slate.
