Description

This requires ~10 lines of configuration (see https://goreleaser.com/customization/homebrew/), but it does require configuring a new repo and a secret for GH actions. Distributing the binary via brew may help work around MacOS refusing to run the binary from the releases page without a signature.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Set up a Homebrew tap repository, configure GoReleaser to publish a Homebrew formula, and add a GitHub token secret for the tap repo.
