# Brewify
## Features
1. **Install/Uninstall**
- Lets you **install** (formula, cask, or bundle) or **uninstall** existing Homebrew packages.
2. **Bundle Mode**
- Build a list (formula or cask mix) and install them all at once.
3. **Interactive Search**
- Uses [pyfzf](https://pypi.org/project/pyfzf/) and `fzf` for fuzzy searching across available Homebrew packages.
## Requirements
- **macOS** with Xcode Command Line Tools (the script itself checks and installs if necessary)
- **Homebrew** (the script also checks and installs if necessary)
- **Python 3.6+**
- **`pip`** to install any missing Python dependencies
## Setup and Usage
1. Clone this repository onto your macOS system.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/stowyh/brewify.git
```
2. **Create and activate a Python 3 virtual environment**:
```bash
# Create a new virtual environment in a folder called 'venv'
python3 -m venv venv
# Activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate
```
> **Why a virtual environment?**
> Ensures the script installs Python dependencies (like `pyfzf`, `requests`) into a separate, safe environment without cluttering your global Python installation.
3. **Run the script**:
```bash
python3 homebrew_installer.py
```
## Important Notes
1. **Potential Additional Permissions**
- Installing Xcode CLT or Homebrew might prompt you for your **administrator password** or require you to accept Apple’s license agreement.
3. **Using Another Shell**
- If you use `zsh`, `fish`, or another shell, activating the virtual environment is slightly different (e.g. `source venv/bin/activate.fish` for `fish`). Check your shell’s documentation.
