Research direction
Examine the existing nightlies build process in gitui org/gitui to understand how artifacts are generated. Then create a Homebrew formula in gitui org/homebrew tap that downloads the nightly artifact for the correct platform and architecture. Look at other Rust projects' homebrew taps for reference. The issue comments may provide additional guidance on the expected format.
