Since Homebrew 1.0.0 most Homebrew users (those who haven’t run a dev-cmd orset HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER=1 which is ~99.9% based on analytics data) require tagson the Homebrew/brew repositoryin order to get new versions of Homebrew. There are a few steps in making a newHomebrew release:

  1. Check the Homebrew/brew pull requests,issues,Homebrew/homebrew-core issues andHomebrew/discussions (forum) to see if there isanything pressing that needs to be fixed or merged before the next release.If so, fix and merge these changes.
  2. Ensure that no code changes have happened for at least a couple of hours (ideally 4 hours),at least one Homebrew/homebrew-core pull request CI job has completed successfully,checked the state of the Homebrew/brew master CI job (i.e. main jobs green or green after rerunning),and that you are confident there are no major regressions on the current master,branch.
  3. Run brew release to create a new draft release. For major or minor version bumps,pass --major or --minor, respectively.
  4. Publish the draft release on GitHub.

Homebrew is ranked 2nd while 1Password is ranked 6th. The most important reason people chose Homebrew is: Once installed, you control Homebrew using the.brew. command. You can find packages using.brew search., install them using.brew install. and remove them using.brew uninstall.

If this is a major or minor release (e.g. X.0.0 or X.Y.0) then there are a few more steps:

  • Homebrew, iTerm2, and AppCleaner are probably your best bets out of the 76 options considered. 'Open Source' is the primary reason people pick Homebrew over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision.

  1. Before creating the tag you should delete any odisabled code, make anyodeprecated code odisabled, uncomment any # odeprecated code and addany new odeprecations that are desired.
  2. Write up a release notes blog post to https://brew.she.g. brew.sh#319.This should use the output from brew release [--major|--minor] as input buthave the wording adjusted to be more human readable and explain not just what has changed but why.
  3. When the release has shipped and the blog post has been merged, tweet theblog post as the @MacHomebrew Twitter accountor tweet it yourself and retweet it with the @MacHomebrew Twitter account(credentials are in 1Password).
  4. Consider whether to submit it to other sources e.g. Hacker News, Reddit.
    • Pros: gets a wider reach and user feedback
    • Cons: negative comments are common and people take this as a chance to complain about Homebrew (regardless of their usage)

Please do not manually create a release based on older commits on the master branch.It’s very hard to judge whether these have been sufficiently tested by users or if they willcause negative side-effects with the current state of Homebrew/homebrew-core.If a new branch is needed ASAP but there are things on master that cannot be released yet(e.g. new deprecations and you want to make a patch release) then revert the relevant PRs,follow the process above and then revert the reverted PRs to reapply them on master.
