🤝 Contributing
We'd love you to join us and >10,000 others by contributing to Homebrew!
First, please read our Contribution Guide and Code of Conduct.
A good starting point for contributing is:
brew tap --force homebrew/core or brew tap --force homebrew/cask (depending on whether you'd rather work on formulae or casks)- perform a strict audit on a package you use e.g.
brew audit --strict ffmpeg for FFmpeg
- if no warnings, run
brew audit --strict to run on all packages and pick one to fix
- read through the warnings and fix them until
brew audit --strict <package> shows no results
- submit a pull request with your fixes
Alternatively, for something more substantial, check out one of the open issues in
Homebrew/brew,
Homebrew/homebrew-core or
Homebrew/homebrew-cask.
If you've had inspiration for a new feature or bug fix: we don't need you to open an issue first, just open a pull request with your implementation and we'll review it.
Good luck!
