brew install wget

Provide a detailed description of the proposed feature
brew update
often outputs a list of new formulae and/or casks, but these lists just consist of the formula/cask names. I would like there to be a way (CLI option and/or environment variable) to make brew update
also output the description for each new formula/cask, e.g.:
New Formulae
kbt — Keyboard tester in terminal
lolcrab — Make your console colorful, with OpenSimplex noise
tiledb — Universal storage engine
New Casks
linqpad — .NET LINQ database query tool and code scratchpad
What is the motivation for the feature?
Every time I run brew update
, I almost always want to find out more about the new formulae and what they do, so I have to run brew info
for each of the listed formulae/casks. This feature would save me that step.
How will the feature be relevant to at least 90% of Homebrew users?
I don't know about 90%, but surely some other users would appreciate more information about what new formulae & casks do.
What alternatives to the feature have been considered?
Leaving things as they are and having to run brew info
for new formulae after brew update
