# Latest Godot build releases for Homebrew

[![Update Godot Casks](https://github.com/fractalcounty/homebrew-godot-dev/actions/workflows/update-cask.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/fractalcounty/homebrew-godot-dev/actions/workflows/update-cask.yml)

[![Latest Godot Dev Version](https://img.shields.io/github/v/tag/godotengine/godot-builds?label=version&include_prereleases&sort=semver)](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-builds/releases)

[![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/fractalcounty/homebrew-godot-dev)](LICENSE)

This is a Homebrew tap I made so that I could install development builds of the [Godot Engine](https://godotengine.org/) on macOS using the Homebrew package manager. The main cask is automatically updated using a GitHub Actions workflow to always point to the most recent unstable macOS release from the official [godot-builds repo](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-builds/releases), as opposed to the [official Homebrew cask](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/godot) which only covers major releases. It also contains casks for the five most recent development previews and/or release canidates which can be optionally specified.

## Installation

> [!WARNING]

> This is an unofficial project created for my own convienence and isn't maintained by the Godot team. Use at your own risk!

1. Add this tap to your Homebrew installation:

    ```zsh

    brew tap fractalcounty/homebrew-godot-dev

    ```

2. Install the latest unstable release from the [godot-builds repo](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-builds/releases):

    ```zsh

    brew install --cask godot-dev

    ```

    To optionally specify a specific dev preview/release canidate (only 5 most recent are included):

    ```zsh

    brew install --cask [email protected]

    ```

    Note that while `godot-dev` doesn't conflict with the official stable `godot` cask, you can't install multiple `godot-dev` casks from this tap at once as it would conflict with the CLI tool.

3. Open `Godot Dev.app` or invoke it via the CLI:

    ```zsh

    godot-dev --version

    ```

## Updating

To update to the latest  release, run:

```zsh

brew update

brew upgrade --cask godot-dev

```

Note that this will require updating your projects to the new latest version. To avoid this, install a specific version.
