homebrew-sync

=========

***Oct 2018: OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED/DO NOT USE*** 


***`homebrew-bundle` and a global ~/.Brewfile are better*** 


***just keep your ~/.Brewfile in Dropbox, perhaps using [mackup](https://github.com/lra/mackup)***

Sync homebrew packages (including taps and casks) between computers using Dropbox

Based on code by @witt3rd - https://gist.github.com/witt3rd/894c9e0b9ca4e24e5574

Outstanding issues:

* Hard-coded paths, most notably the location of your Dropbox folder

* Package re-installation is imperfect

* No error handling either

* Does not *remove* packages, only installs them

Usage

-----

```

git clone https://github.com/jamiew/homebrew-sync

cd homebrew-sync

```

Read the `sync-brews` file and make sure the hard-coded paths align with your interests (e.g. `~/Dropbox (Personal)/Apps/Homebrew` for stashing your list of taps, packages and casks)

Then

```

./sync-brews

```

Re-run regularly-ish
