To do this: + +1. Create a pull request to the new tap adding the formula file as-is from the main Homebrew repository. Fix any test failures that may occur due to the stricter requirements for new formulae than existing formula (e.g. `brew audit --strict` must pass for that formula). +2. Create a pull request to the main repository deleting the formula file and add it to `Library/Homebrew/tap_migrations.rb`. +3. Put a link for each pull request in the other pull request so the maintainers can merge them both at once. + +Congratulations, you've moved a formula to a tap! |
