HTTPie on Homebrew, and Linuxbrew
Welcome to the documentation about packaging HTTPie for Homebrew.
- If you do not know HTTPie, have a look here.
- If you are looking for HTTPie installation or upgrade instructions on Homebrew, then you can find them on that page (that one for Linuxbrew).
- If you are looking for technical information about the HTTPie packaging on Homebrew, then you are in a good place.
About
This document contains technical details, where we describe how to create a patch for the latest HTTPie version for Homebrew. They apply to Linuxbrew as well. We will discuss setting up the environment, installing development tools, installing and testing changes before submitting a patch downstream.
Overall process
The brew deployment is completely automated, and only requires a trigger to Release on Homebrew action
from the release manager.
If it is needed to be done manually, the following command can be used:
$ brew bump-formula-pr httpie --version={TARGET_VERSION}
which will bump the formula, and create a PR against the package index.
Hacking
Make your changes, test the formula through the Test Brew Package action
and then finally submit your patch to homebrew-core
