Publishing

Getting an app into the homebrew app repository.

You made an app, and you want other people to have it. Handing out the IPK yourself already works, from a GitHub release or anywhere else. Getting it listed in Homebrew Channel is the extra step, and that is what these pages cover.

The repository stores a pointer, not your IPK. You host the release, one small YAML file in apps-repo points at it, and merging that file is what puts your app in front of users.

• Rules — read these first. A submission that breaks one gets rejected whatever else is right.
• How to Submit — host the release, write the package file, check it, open the pull request.
