Research direction

Start by checking the PyPI sdist for devready-cli and the existing .github/workflows/publish.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md release checklist, and README install section. Create Formula/devready.rb in the tap with Python 3.12, a virtualenv, and the two specified test commands. Done means the formula installs and passes brew test and strict online audit on macOS arm64 and x86_64 and Linux, and the README and release checklist cover the tap.

Description

enhancement help wanted

Problem: DevReady installs through pipx, uvx, pip or npm (which needs uvx or pipx underneath). On macOS and Linux many developers expect brew install, and a machine that is not set up yet may not have pipx or uv either, which is exactly the machine DevReady is meant to check.

Do:

  • Create a tap repo, Evalogical-Inc/homebrew-tap, with Formula/devready.rb.
  • Build the formula from the PyPI sdist of devready-cli with Language::Python::Virtualenv and depends_on "[email protected]" (the package needs Python >= 3.10 and has no runtime dependencies, so there are no resource blocks).
  • Add a test do block that runs devready --version and devready explain git.version.
  • After each PyPI release, bump the formula version and sha256. Either add a step to .github/workflows/publish.yml that opens a PR on the tap, or document it in the "Releasing (maintainers)" checklist in CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • Add the install line to the README's install section: 
    brew install evalogical-inc/tap/devready

Done when:

  • brew install evalogical-inc/tap/devready installs the latest release on macOS (arm64 and x86_64) and Linux.
  • brew test devready and brew audit --strict --online devready pass.
  • README and the release checklist mention the tap.

Notes:

  • Keep it a tap for now. homebrew-core has notability requirements we can revisit later.
  • No change to DevReady itself: still read-only and zero runtime dependencies.
