How to share/publish aliases

[texastoland]

I have aliases I find generally useful like https://github.com/texastoland/dotfiles/blob/main/.config/brew-aliases/tree or a version of bundle dump that adds tree's output in a frontmatter. Is it possible to share them via a tap or something?

Something like this feels like a good candidate for Homebrew/homebrew-bundle to brew bundle dump and brew bundle install. Thoughts?

I'm versioning my .config folder where they're saved with the rest of my dotfiles. That already works great! Bundle is outstanding for syncing Codespaces (plus documenting tools) thanks for that too 🏆

My specific use case is I want to make a dotfiles course and find these aliases almost essential. It'd be convenient if I could recommend a maintainable way (besides download/curl) to install them.

Or if you're suggesting upstreaming the features I'd be happy to open an issue there!

Yes, please! Issue would be nice but pull request ideal. Feel free to open early/broken and we can help you get it over the line.

I contributed #25 here but it was broken because I got no Ruby fu 🙈 I'll try though!

Closing in favor of future proposals/PRs to brew and bundle respectively:

1. Default behavior for brew deps to print leaves --installed-on-request that are --installed --formula with an optional --list-orphans and info how to brew autoremove them
2. An optional --comment-header in the Brewfile with the exact output of the brew deps --tree --list-orphans
