Lens: brew cask install kontena-lens

[kachkaev]

I just discovered Kontena Lens and went to check if it had a Homebrew Cask distribution. Seems like this is not the case, which means that lazy macOS users like sadly have to manually download a DMG, open it, drag an icon to Applications or run some strange setup wizard.

It'd be great if you could crearte a Cask for your app. This should improve the initial customer experience and generally comply with expectations that macOS users have. Cheers 👋

I _think_ there was some early stuff being worked on. @kke do you know in which state that got into?

You can already do brew cask install kontena/lens/lens

I haven't tried to create a PR to get it included in the homebrew repo.

I just opened a PR for 3.0.1 against the Homebrew repo, see Homebrew/homebrew-cask#79339.

Are these directories still correct? (I haven't used the application much, but the cache folder hasn't been created yet.)

  uninstall delete: [
                      '~/Library/Caches/Lens',
                    ]

  zap trash: [
               '~/Library/Application Support/Lens',
             ]

I think ~/Library/Caches/Lens is not needed, at least I haven't seen that folder created.

Cask PR is already merged and brew cask install lens seems to work. @Addono huge thanks for making this happen!

Will we support new version 3.1.0 for example?

[JAG-01]

Indicating there's a "lens" Homebrew Cask in the "Installation" section of the README.md would be greatly appreciated. 😉

Great tool!
