From b8b7ad7ef23b9d4235cb05479c443db287eb30bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Nagel Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 02:23:29 -0500 Subject: Document `brew diy` in the man page The documentation on this is hard to find, and awareness of the command itself is pretty low. Which is too bad, because it's really handy and I use it all the time myself.
