Homebrew cask

[ealeksandrov]

Hey, @tghs - are you maintaining homebrew casks for this fork? I'm not a pro in this and we need to add ability to select specific plugin to use (@dimitrieh suggestion).

Or maybe we should go ahead and implement it as in-app feature - selector of specific console emulator?

Hi @ealeksandrov,

Yeah, I'm maintaining it. I'll push the update for 2.8 shortly.

I don't think there is a good way to allow selection of the specific plugin variant. Homebrew formula have a good way which would work: adding options like --with-plugin-<plugin_name>. But, these aren't available for casks. :-(

Like you say, this will be solved by the in-app selector (for 3.0), so I'd suggest for now that people stick to manual installation of variant they need if they're not using Terminal.app.

I'll get back on getting my WIP implementation of the in-app selector pushed soon so that we can work on it. I've just been a bit busy lately. :-)

Cool, thanks. No hurry with 3.0, that's not a blocker.

I added you as a collaborator to this repository, feel free to push your branch in here.

Use this issue to express my appreciation to the work you've done for this project. Very useful! Thanks!

First of all, thank you for continuing support for this helpful project.

Unfortunately, the currently available version in brew cask is not really useful. Is there any information/progress on the aforementioned version 3.0 to add the in-app selection of preferred terminal application? I cannot seem to find anything.

For the time being, would it be an option to add each of the individual flavors of this app as separate casks? Similar to Homebrew/homebrew-cask#52000 and Homebrew/homebrew-cask#52051

Thanks for reminder
Solution with cask flavors like cd-to-terminal, cd-to-iterm sounds interesting, but brings additional support burden.

I'll check in a week or two for in-app selection feature, maybe it won't require much time.
Also bundling of all terminals inside one app will significantly simplify project structure, so it's really preferred way.
