Automate homebrew tap updates via CI about helix HOT 11 CLOSED

The project is still very alpha, so we'll probably cut new point releases often for the time being (consider it more like nightly builds). Would be a pain to update on homebrew-core continuously. Will make sense to do once we have a stable release though.

There's a macOS tap available now: https://github.com/helix-editor/homebrew-helix, courtesy of @ethanbodzioney

Can you please make sure the Homebrew tap works on Linux as well? I use Homebrew on Pop OS for everything that is too new to be in the Pop Shop / apt / Flatpak. https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux

I'd like to automate the tap updates on the CI, then the issue can be closed :)

Why a tap? Why not just add to homebrew actual.

on a similar note, is it feasible (I can open a new Issue if so), to support apple silicon builds?

from helix.

@lewiscowper It should be as simple as adding aarch64-apple-darwin to the build matrix:

I didn't include it before when the codebase was private since macOS builds cost 10x CI time for rivate repos

@archseer should we close this then? 🙂

Could this be closed now since we decided to drop the tap altogether?

We should still upstream to Homebrew first.
