Providing a Homebrew tap backed by private GitHub repo

Raw

x.md

As the tap is a private Git repo, you need to generate a GitHub token with repo scope and then add this token to your ~/.netrc file like this:

machine github.com
  login <your GitHub user>
  password <your GitHub token>

Now you can add the tap to your system:

brew tap user/repo

Afterwards, you can finally install tools provided by the tap:

Install the current version of tool XYZ:

brew install XYZ

Install the latest version of tool XYZ:

brew rm XYZ; brew install --HEAD XYZ
