Research direction
Look at existing Homebrew formulas for similar editors (e.g., neovim, vim) to understand the structure. Check the Oni repository's release artifacts and build scripts (e.g., package.json, Makefile) to determine how to package the binary. The issue has 6 comments; review them for any additional context or suggestions. A good first step would be to create a simple formula that downloads the latest release from GitHub and installs it, similar to other cask formulas.
