Thank you very much for creating this formula. pastel creates shell completion files for bash, zsh and fish during the build. This is not a necessity, but if you want, you could install them in the right places. For reference, here is what the Arch Linux package does: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=pastel (look for SHELL_COMPLETIONS_DIR and install .... completions/... below.

Installing completion files would be nice… look at the use of fish_completion.install, bash_completion.install and zsh_completion.install in other formulas.

I've added the shell completions now, thanks for the directions!

I would like to install pastel via brew too

I would say it's better to download tar.gz directly than build with Rust and it shouldn't increase unnecessary dependencies.

In this case, you can use https://github.com/sharkdp/pastel/releases/download/v0.5.2/pastel-v0.5.2-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz.

@kenchan0130 I was mirroring an existing formula for a Rust utility. No runtime dependencies necessary, so if it's bottled, no dependencies needed to install.

@fxcoudert Any advice on other steps I should take to have this reviewed and hopefully merged? 🙂

@liamdawson Sounds good.
As an example, I would say it will be like https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/nodebrew.rb.

Binary formula are forbidden in homebrew. The nodebrew formula is using the source from a tag rather than a binary distribution.

@SMillerDev It looks like the url used by @liamdawson is actually the source from a tag, so is there something else to do? I'm looking forward to installing this package.

I've also bumped the version to 0.5.3, as that's out now, but I can remove that commit if it's better to introduce that version bump separately.

It's fine, can you squash the commits into one using <formula> <version> (new formula)?

Thanks @liamdawson! Without contributions like yours it'd be impossible to keep homebrew going with the high standards that users have come to expect from the project. You can feel good knowing that you've made the world a tiny bit better for homebrew users around the world! 👍 🎉
