brew - Enhanced Homebrew Wrapper

The brew module enhances the standard Homebrew experience by providing easier access to common tasks like mirror configuration, proxy setup, and interactive package selection.

When to Activate

  • When installing, removing, or listing Homebrew packages on macOS or Linux.
  • When configuring Homebrew to use optimized regional mirrors (e.g., TUNA).
  • When managing Homebrew's proxy settings for restricted networks.
  • When performing interactive package browsing (x brew app).

Core Principles & Rules

  • Interactive Browsing: Use the default x brew to choose packages via TUI.
  • Mirror Support: Simplify mirror switching with the mirror subcommand.
  • Privacy Focus: Easily disable Homebrew analytics via the analytics subcommand.

Patterns & Examples

Install Packages

bash
# Install multiple packages at once
x brew install curl wget git

Configure Mirror

bash
# Set Homebrew to use the Tsinghua University mirror
x brew mirror set tuna

Interactive App

bash
# Launch interactive TUI to manage Homebrew packages
x brew

Checklist

  • Confirm the names of the packages to be installed or managed.
  • Verify if a mirror or proxy setup is needed for better connectivity.
  • Check if the system is macOS or Linux (supported platforms).

pufferlib

High-performance reinforcement learning framework optimized for speed and scale. Use when you need fast parallel training, vectorized environments, multi-agent systems, or integration with game environments (Atari, Procgen, NetHack). Achieves 2-10x speedups over standard implementations. For quick prototyping or standard algorithm implementations with extensive documentation, use stable-baselines3 instead.
