  - Extensions for [Visual Studio Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/vscode).

- **Automatic Brewfile Updates**

  - Set up [brew-wrap](https://homebrew-file.readthedocs.io/en/latest/brew-wrap.html) to automatically update your Brewfile on `brew install`, `brew uninstall`, and other package changes.

- **Brewfile Shareing, Version Control**

  - Easily share and manage your Brewfile using [Git integration](https://homebrew-file.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#manage-brewfile-with-git).

  - `brew file update` will pull the latest changes from the remote repository, install/uninstall based on the changes, update Brewfile, commit and push the changes.

- **Flexible Brewfile Organization**

  - Organize packages by environment with customized Brewfiles, like:

    - `Brewfile` for common packages across systems.

    - `Brewfile.linux` for Linux-specific packages.

    - `Brewfile.mac` for macOS-specific packages.

    - `Brewfile.$HOSTNAME` for host-specific packages.
