Fix Homebrew install colliding with core Go md2pdf - #8
Merged
Conversation
brew install md2pdf resolves to Homebrew core's unrelated Go package (solworktech/md2pdf), which rejects --output and positional inputs. Document the fully-qualified 0xtlt/tap/md2pdf install, add formula caveats, and harden the tap push authentication path. Co-authored-by: Thomas <0xtlt@users.noreply.github.com>
Drop build-from-source, architecture, performance, and development sections so the front page stays focused on getting md2pdf running. Co-authored-by: Thomas <0xtlt@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
brew install md2pdfcurrently installs Homebrew core’s Go CLI (solworktech/md2pdf), not this Rust tool. That binary requires-i/-oand printsUsage: md2pdf.go …, which is why:Two compounding issues:
homebrew/core/md2pdf— plainbrew install md2pdfalways prefers core.Formula/md2pdf.rbbut failed to push (could not read Username for 'https://github.com'), so0xtlt/tapstill has nomd2pdfformula.Changes
brew install 0xtlt/tap/md2pdf; drops build/dev/perf sections.After merge (needed to unblock Homebrew installs)
Re-run the tap publisher so
Formula/md2pdf.rblands in0xtlt/homebrew-tap:Then users can:
brew uninstall md2pdf # removes core Go package if present brew install 0xtlt/tap/md2pdf md2pdf README.md --output readme.pdfImmediate workaround (no brew)
Download the platform archive from v3.2.1 — verified here that
md2pdf README.md --output readme.pdfworks on the Rust 3.2.1 Linux binary.
