Flight

WARNING: Flight is untested and probably doesn't work.

Flight helps manage your Homebrew packages in the same way Bundler helps you manage gem dependencies. With your Brewfile, you can tell Homebrew to install packages, configure build options, and even install custom taps.

Installation

Flight is a RubyGem, and for now you can only install it with RubyGems:

$ gem install flight

You can also include it as a dependency in your Ruby project with Bundler. Just add this line to your Gemfile and run bundle:

gem 'flight'

Usage

First of all, you'll need a Brewfile before you do anything else. Generate one with the following command:

$ flight generate

Next, edit the Brewfile with the packages you want to install. You can specify version constraints in the same manner as Bundler and Berkshelf.

brew 'vim'
brew 'git', '~> 2.2'

Once you're all done figuring out the packages you wish to install, it's time to actually run Homebrew. Run the following command to install every package and build a Brewfile.lock which saves the state of the current run.

$ flight install

Packages get updated over time, and Flight can handle managing updates and outdated packages. Run the following command to see what's outdated:

$ flight outdated

This will inform you of any formulae that have been updated to build a version past the one you already have installed. You can now run bundle update PACKAGE to upgrade just that one package, or bundle update to upgrade every package. Flight uses the brew upgrade command to update packages.
