The plugin adds several aliases for common brew commands.
To use it, add brew
to the plugins array of your zshrc file:
plugins=(... brew)
If brew
is not found in the PATH, this plugin will attempt to find it in common
locations, and execute brew shellenv
to set the environment appropriately.
This plugin will also export HOMEBREW_PREFIX="$(brew --prefix)"
if not previously
defined for convenience.

With the release of Homebrew 1.0, they decided to bundle the zsh completion as part of the brew installation, so we no longer ship it with the brew plugin; now it only has brew aliases. If you find that brew completion no longer works, make sure you have your Homebrew installation fully up to date.
