Lazygit: Homebrew Tap

[jesseduffield]

I switched to using goreleaser, and got the binaries building but I can't get the homebrew tap part working. It looks like I might need to have a separate repo for the homebrew thing? If anybody could have a look at https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/blob/master/.goreleaser.yml and let me know if something looks off that would be fantastic.

@dawidd6 You may be able to help here

First i would change brew to release, cause we don't deal with any homebrew stuff here.

Also i don't think it's a good idea to store github token in repository publicly.

May i ask why did you move from travis to goreleaser?

[jesseduffield]

Nice catch :) I removed the token from my account so it's harmless sitting in the repo's git history. I want to support homebrew because it's our most popular issue https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/14. Goreleaser has native support for homebrew tap stuff so I wanted to use that, and it's easier to specify what you want in the .yml. I think I still want to be using travis CI, but in a way that integrates with goreleaser, so I'll add travis CI back soon.

One of the benefits of goreleaser is that it handles automatic tarballing, zipping etc of the binaries, and packages them with the license and readme which was pretty cool. It also has the lazygit executable as-is, meaning it doesn't need to be renamed as was the case previously with the travis CI script.

My plan is to get goreleaser working with homebrew and then move it into travis CI. But I'm also very tired so I'll probably need to revise the logic of my current thinking haha.

[dawidd6]

Ah okay, good plan, but i can't help here as i'm not familiar with homebrew.

@jesseduffield Perhaps it might be easier to debug this if we start with just one platform, say MacOSx and then moved on from there.

Turns out I needed to add a separate repo to host the formula file (at least that's what my research told me). Nonetheless, we now have a homebrew tap!
