Global install with "-g" flag

[pensierinmusica]

Hi,

Would it be possible to add a -g flag when performing a Cask install, such that the app gets automatically symlinked to the global app folder, instead of the user app folder?

For example, to install Google Chrome globally I think it'd be much more convenient to type brew cask install -g google-chrome, than brew cask install --appdir="/Applications" google-chrome.

It should be pretty easy to implement and it sorts of follow a "standard" too (think other package managers like npm).

Do you think this could be implemented? Would you like me to create a PR?

Cheers!

No. /Applications should be the default, anyway, and linking behaviour should change to copying in the future, so it’d be useless to implement this.

I see, thanks! When is this going to be part of the master branch / included in the next release?

No time frame yet.
