There are times when we may wish to migrate a formula from one tap into another tap. To do this:
- Create a pull request to the new tap adding the formula file as-is from the original tap. 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). - Create a pull request to the original tap deleting the formula file and add it to
tap_migrations.json
with a commit message likegv: migrating to homebrew/x11
. - 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!
