brew plugin

The plugin adds several aliases for common brew commands.

To use it, add brew to the plugins array of your zshrc file:

plugins=(... brew)

Shellenv

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.

Aliases

Alias Command Description
bcubc brew upgrade --cask && brew cleanup Update outdated casks, then run cleanup.
bcubo brew update && brew outdated --cask Update Homebrew data, then list outdated casks.
brewp brew pin Pin a specified formula so that it's not upgraded.
brews brew list -1 List installed formulae or the installed files for a given formula.
brewsp brew list --pinned List pinned formulae, or show the version of a given formula.
bubc brew upgrade && brew cleanup Upgrade outdated formulae and casks, then run cleanup.
bubo brew update && brew outdated Update Homebrew data, then list outdated formulae and casks.
bubu bubo && bubc Do the last two operations above.
buf brew upgrade --formula Upgrade only formulas (not casks).

Completion

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.
