Describe the bug
I'm on Mac and I'm trying to install both VSCode and VSCodium using Homebrew and I get the following error:

➜  ~

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

  • [x] This bug doesn't happen if I install either one or the other using brew command and the other one by downloading directly from the corresponding browser link.
  • The only problem is when trying to install both using brew commands.
  • [x] They can remain both in the same computer and they work pretty well after installing using different ways for both.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'terminal' app.
  2. Install Homebrew
  3. Run either brew cask install visual-studio-code or brew cask install vscodium
  4. Run the other command from above (no matter the order).
  5. See error

It's reporting a conflict due to this line in the cask formula: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/vscodium.rb#L12 Perhaps someone added that for a reason :smile: I don't think they should conflict since they use different data folders.

Feel free to open an issue/PR in that repo (nothing in this repo affects the cask formula).
