# Add your fork to your local install
brew tap homebrew/core
cd $(brew --repository homebrew/core)
git remote add <your_fork> <uri_of_your_clone>
git fetch <your_fork>
git checkout -b xnvme_update master

# Edit the xNVMe formula
brew edit xnvme

# Test it
brew uninstall --force xnvme
HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --build-from-source xnvme
# this was needed...
brew link --overwrite

brew audit --strict xnvme
brew style xnvme

Initial creation of the package

A couple of useful commands:

# On macOS use this to calculate the checksum of the src-archive
shasum -a 256

# Test the formula
HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --build-from-source xnvme.rb
brew test xnvme.rb
brew audit --strict xnvme

# Only needed on creation?
brew audit --new xnvme
brew audit --new-formula xnvme
