feat(release): publish Homebrew cask to ryanlewis/homebrew-tap#84
Merged
Conversation
Wire up GoReleaser's homebrew_casks block so each tagged release auto-publishes Casks/things.rb to ryanlewis/homebrew-tap, enabling `brew install ryanlewis/tap/things`. - .goreleaser.yaml: homebrew_casks block (preferred over deprecated brews:) targeting ryanlewis/homebrew-tap, with quarantine xattr removal hook for unsigned binaries - .github/workflows/release.yml: pass HOMEBREW_TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN secret into goreleaser step - README.md and docs/_tabs/install.md: surface brew install as the recommended install path Closes #14
