$ brew tap

$ brew tap [user]/[repo] [https://example.com/repo.git]

brew tap adds third-party repositories to Homebrew, extending the available formulae and casks beyond the core repository. Tapped repositories are automatically updated when running brew update.
By default, tap assumes GitHub repositories, but any Git URL can be specified.

--full

Clone repository as full Git repo (enables git operations)

Auto-update even if not from GitHub

Clone with shallow depth

brew tap

List all currently tapped repositories

Clone https://github.com/user/homebrew-repo

Clone repository from custom URL

GitHub repositories must be named homebrew-something to use the short form. The prefix is automatically added when needed:
- brew tap user/foobar clones user/homebrew-foobar

After tapping, formulae are available directly:

$ brew install formula

$ brew install user/repo/formula

Tapped formulae are updated automatically with brew update. When core and tap have same formula name, core takes precedence unless fully qualified. Private repositories require authentication.
