A Tap is homebrew-speak for a git repository containing extra formulae. Homebrew has the capability to add (and remove) multiple taps to your local installation with the brew tap and brew untap command. Type man brew in your Terminal. The main repository https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew often called "Homebrew/homebrew" is always built-in.

Main Taps

brew search looks in these main taps and as well in Homebrew/homebrew. So don't worry about missing stuff. We will add other taps to the search as they become well maintained and popular.

You can be added as a collaborator to Homebrew organization taps and aid the project! If you are interested write to our list: [email protected]. We want your help!
