SYNOPSIS

brew command [options]

DESCRIPTION

zerobrew is a drop-in Homebrew replacement that uses parallel downloads and extraction, APFS clonefiles for zero-overhead copying, and a SHA256 content-addressable store for instant reinstalls. Compatible with existing Homebrew workflows and the bottle ecosystem.

PARAMETERS

command

Homebrew-compatible subcommand (install, upgrade, uninstall, list, gc, etc.)

CAVEATS

macOS only (requires APFS). Experimental software -- not all Homebrew commands may be supported. Only works with bottles (pre-built binaries), not source builds.

HISTORY

zerobrew was created by Lucas Gelfond (lucasgelfond) and is written in Rust.
