Provide Homebrew formula for macOS

[alexruf]

It would be great to provide a Homebrew formula so that macOS users can easily install and update Pilgo via the brew command.

Hi @alexruf, thanks for opening this important issue.

I have a question about this: can the macOS formulae be validated using Homebrew on Linux? I don't have a device with macOS. 😬

[alexruf]

To be honest - I don't know. I have never used Homebrew on Linux.
But instead of pushing your formula directly to the official Homebrew repo, I would anyway recommend to create your own custom tap. A tap in Homebrew is a third party Git repo, hosting formulas not part of the offical package index. Those taps can be added from users as needed. As an example: I am using the tap adoptopenjdk/openjdk to install AdoptOpenJDK.

This way you can just push your Pilgo formula to your own repo without the need of getting the PR merged, and users can test it for you.

@alexruf, thanks for the info on taps. I'll give it a try soon, as I'd love to distribute Pilgo on macOS via Homebrew.

I can make a formula for you. All I need is a list of any dependencies, as well as build dependencies, and language dependencies/library's your using. If you could add them to the README or something that would be great. Thanks!

Thanks, @DrBoyle! That would be of great help. I'll update the README with everything needed and will ping you back here when I finish it. 😄
