# My Personal Homebrew Tap
For keeping formulae of old software versions that I may want to revert back to!
## Create your Personal Tap
For example, this repo! The repo must be named `homebrew-tap`. This then need to be tapped - e.g.,
```text
brew tap alexioannides/tap
```
## Adding a new Formula to the Tap
Start by extract a formula - e.g.,
```text
brew extract hashicorp/tap/terraform --version 1.9.1 alexioannides/tap
```
That will yield outout along the lines of,
```text
==> Searching repository history
==> Writing formula for terraform at 1.8.0 from revision bca6603 to:
/opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/alexioannides/homebrew-tap/Formula/[email protected]
```
Commit and push this to your remote repo - e.g.,
```text
cd $(brew --repo alexioannides/tap)
git pull
git add -A && git commit -m "Add [email protected]"
git push origin main
```
## Installing Formulae
You can now reinstall old version from you tap - e.g.,
```text
brew install alexioannides/tap/[email protected]
```
## Debugging
If you having trouble extracting formulae from `homebrew/core`, then run,
```text
brew tap homebrew/core --force
```
