cellane/homebrew-repo

This repository, cellane/homebrew-repo, is a custom channel for Homebrew, the popular package manager on macOS. It exists specifically to distribute Dokku, a tool that helps you host web apps on your own server without needing to understand complex infrastructure. By adding this channel to your Mac, you can install the relevant software using the same familiar commands you already use for other tools. Homebrew works like an app store for your computer's command line. Normally, when you tell Homebrew to install something, it looks in its official directory. However, some developers create custom channels, called "taps" in Homebrew's terminology, to distribute their own software. This project is simply one of those custom channels. Once you point Homebrew to this source, it knows exactly where to find and download the files needed to get Dokku running on your machine. This setup is aimed at developers, founders, or technical project managers who want to manage their own web applications without paying for managed cloud services. For example, if you have built a prototype and want a simple way to deploy it to a server you control, Dokku provides a workflow similar to commercial platforms like Heroku. Using this particular tap allows you to easily install the necessary command-line tools on a Mac to manage that process. The documentation here is extremely sparse. The entire README consists only of a title, which means anyone using it is expected to already know what it is and how custom Homebrew taps work. There are no guides, configuration instructions, or details about specific features provided beyond the basic fact that it contains the relevant formula for Dokku.
