brew formula

[znschaffer]

I noticed from a previous issue (#76) that one of the holdups for making a brew package was lack of a mac to build a release on.

I have an m1 machine and could build all the UI's and pack em into a tarball which we could put up on github releases and make a brew formula out of.

I'm not sure that's the best way forward.

Having a brew formula similar to this one: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/ripgrep.rb might be a better idea.

That way the brew build system is responsible for building the code, and we don't have an unknown factor in the middle of the supply chain between consumer and developer.

That is most definitely a better way forward. I’ll see if i can get a self building formula working today

I made an attempt at a homebrew package: Homebrew/homebrew-core#124092
