What problem does it solve?

This skill automates updating Homebrew formula files with the latest GitHub release information. It updates the version, download URLs, and SHA256 checksums to keep formulas current without manual edits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fetch the latest release tag from a GitHub repository and determine the corresponding formula version.
  • Download platform-specific release assets and compute SHA256 checksums for darwin-amd64, darwin-arm64, linux-amd64, and linux-arm64.
  • Update the formula file with new URLs, version, and checksums; create a backup before applying changes; support a dry-run mode to preview updates.
  • Typical use cases include keeping a Homebrew tap in sync with upstream releases and refreshing checksums after new releases.

Quick Start

Run the update_formula.py script with the GitHub repo and formula file to fetch the latest release and update the formula’s URLs and SHA256 checksums.
