It lets you browse, install, and\nuninstall Homebrew packages through a fuzzy-finder interface with live previews, so you spend less\ntime typing commands and more time getting things done. It also includes a zapper that can\ncompletely remove applications installed outside of Homebrew, along with their leftovers.\n\nRead more:\n\n- [Documentation](https://kavindujayarathne.com/blogs/macpak-documentation)\n- [Story behind macpak](https://kavindujayarathne.com/blogs/journey-of-macpak)\n\n## Demo\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e48d35ab-a2e6-4638-93f8-44e948f35722\n\n## Features\n\n- Fuzzy search Homebrew formulas \u0026 casks  \n- Interactive install/uninstall flow  \n- Zapper for non-brew apps (app + leftovers)  \n- Cached index for speed  \n- Doctor command for sanity checks  \n\n## Requirements\n\n- [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) (must be installed on the system)\n- [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) (installed automatically if missing)\n\n## Installation\n\nInstall via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to get autoupdates (Preferred):\n\n```bash\nbrew install --formula kavindujayarathne/macpak/macpak\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\nmacpak search [query]          Search available Homebrew formulae and casks; Enter to install\nmacpak list [query]            List installed Homebrew formulae and casks; Enter to uninstall\nmacpak zap \u003ckeyword\u003e           Sweep and remove non-brew apps with leftovers\nmacpak cache-refresh           Refresh the cached Homebrew index\nmacpak doctor                  Check required/optional tools and config\n```\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e For environment variables and advanced configuration via `~/.config/macpak/config.sh`,  \n\u003e see the [documentation](https://kavindujayarathne.com/blogs/macpak-documentation).\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE).\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions, issues, and feature requests are welcome!  \nPlease also feel free to open an issue if you run into bugs or have feature suggestions.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkavindujayarathne%2Fmacpak","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkavindujayarathne%2Fmacpak","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkavindujayarathne%2Fmacpak/lists"}
