Brewer 🍺

An extremly fast homebrew (macOS & Linux package manager) CLI wrapper with extra features.

This is a WIP, alpha, early-stage, etc. project. A lot is missing and bugs are expected.

Features

• Fuzzy formulae/cask search with an embedded skim (fzf rust alternative)
• Locate which formulae provides the given binary (Ubuntu's command-not-found equivalent)
• Much faster than brew search (uses nucleo crate for non-interactive fuzzy search)
• Show plan before installing / uninstall kegs

Install

git clone git@github.com:metafates/brewer.git
cd brewer

# using cargo
cargo install --path brewer_term

# or using `just`
just
