Homebrew's official macOS GUI: making package management approachable for users who prefer graphical interfaces over Terminal, while maintaining complete transparency about underlying Homebrew operations. Enable CLI-averse users to safely discover, install, update and manage Homebrew packages through a native SwiftUI interface that never hides what Homebrew is doing. Put Homebrew options in brew.env and relaunch BrewUI after changing them. Shell aliases and exported variables do not configure the app. See Homebrew configuration. After cloning: This installs Mint from Brewfile, runs mint bootstrap to build the SwiftFormat and SwiftLint versions pinned in Mintfile, enables repository git hooks and resolves Swift package dependencies for Homebrew.xcodeproj. After bootstrap, commits automatically run checks on staged Swift files: The hook also runs BrewUILint over the production tree. If unresolved lint violations remain, the commit is blocked and the hook prints the failures so you can fix and re-commit. See development setup for signing configuration, conventions…
