title: Custom homebrew tap
---
After releasing to GitHub, GoReleaser can generate and publish a homebrew-tap
recipe into a repository that you have access to.
The brew section specifies how the formula should be created.
You can check the
[Homebrew documentation](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap.md)
and the
[formula cookbook](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Formula-Cookbook.md)
for more details.
```yml
# .goreleaser.yml
brew:
# Reporitory to push the tap to.
github:
owner: user
name: homebrew-tap
# Folder inside the repository to put the formula.
# Default is the root folder.
folder: Formula
# Caveats for the user of your binary.
# Default is empty.
caveats: "How to use this binary"
# Your app's homepage
# Default is empty
homepage: "https://example.com/"
# Your app's description
# Default is empty
description: "Software to create fast and easy drum rolls."
# Dependencies of your package
dependencies:
- git
- zsh
# Packages that conflict with your package
conflicts:
- svn
- bash
# Packages that run as a service. Default is empty.
plist: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
...
# So you can brew test your formula. Default is empty.
test: |
system "#{bin}/program --version"
...
# Custom install script for brew. Default is 'bin.install "program"'
install: |
bin.install "program"
...
```
By defining the `brew` section, GoReleaser will take care of publishing the
Homebrew tap.
Assuming that the current tag is `v1.2.3`, the above config will generate a
`program.rb` formula in the `Formula` folder of `user/homebrew-tap` repository:
```rb
class Program < Formula
desc "How to use this binary"
homepage "https://github.com/user/repo"
url "https://github.com/user/repo/releases/download/v1.2.3/program_v1.2.3_macOs_64bit.zip"
version "v1.2.3"
sha256 "9ee30fc358fae8d248a2d7538957089885da321dca3f09e3296fe2058e7fff74"
depends_on "git"
depends_on "zsh"
def install
bin.install "program"
end
end
```
**Important**": Note that GoReleaser does not yet generate a valid
homebrew-core formula. The generated formulas are meant to be published as
[homebrew taps](https://docs.brew.sh/brew-tap.html), and in their current
form will not be accepted in any of the official homebrew repositories.
