Thanks to Mike and everyone else that has contributed to Homebrew. I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be managing command line programs on a Mac without it.
I'm wondering if Macs would be as successful with developers without homebrew.

#52Good.
Has opt-out Google Analytics had any help for your project so far?

#53I'm excited about Homebrew potentially coming to Linux. When I first started using OS X more regularly, I was surprised by how better an experience OS X + Homebrew is compared to Ubuntu/Debian repositories + PPAs/third-party repositories.
What don't you like about PPAs? I find them a great experience as both a user and maintainer.

#54I had uninstalled homebrew this week because it stopped functioning. Out of nowhere, I started getting a ruby error related to a particular package and every CLI call would fail because of it. As someone who works with Go, it's sad to see an error bubbling up and not being gracefully handled.

#55"brew update Error: /usr/local is not writable. You should change the ownership and permissions of /usr/local back to your user account: sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local . . . ==> Migrating HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY (please wait)... ==> Migrated HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY to /usr/local/Homebrew!

I see no problem in this. We need writing permissions to /usr/local to finish our migration (as we always did). Once you finish the migration we (hopefully) never write directly to /usr/local again.

I don't use Linux myself, but am curious as to why this has been so heavily downvoted.
Because Linuxes have their own package managers already, and Linuxers are outraged that some macOS freak is invading their lawn with an alternative.

I guess it is because default linux package managers already do a great job.

#58Thank you guys for making my life as a software dev and end user infinitely easier. - brew install postgresql - brew install mpv The list goes on and on and on. You rock!
Postgres.app[1] would make your life even easier. :)

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
Newer versions install in `/usr/local/Homebrew`, older versions "migrate" there: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/253404/how-does-hom...
I have a hard time understanding the "migration", even after reading all the related issues. Homebrew still writes into /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/Cellar, nothing different from the past. What exactly changes?
Writing to /usr/local/bin is not the same as writing to /usr/local. We don't drop a README.md in /usr/local anymore, for instance, and you can change the ownership of /usr/local back to root:wheel after the migration.

I switched to use the homebrew version because I couldn't get the pg tools and such to work from the command line. Nobody got time for that. :P
