Homebrew Nowadays Agent Cli

Nowadays Agent CLI Tap

A Homebrew tap for agent CLIs, kept as close to upstream "nowadays" releases as possible via hourly automated syncing from **official** vendor sources.

Currently tracked agents:

• Claude Code — by Anthropic

More agent CLIs may be added over time.

Why this tap exists

Official cask repos are maintained through community PRs and typically lag the actual published release by several point versions.

This tap skips the PR step by having GitHub Actions pull version pointers and per-platform checksums directly from official vendor distribution sources every hour, so `brew upgrade` tracks upstream within minutes instead of days.

Quick Start

brew tap txperl/nowadays-agent-cli

# Pick one:
brew install --cask txperl/nowadays-agent-cli/claude-code          # upstream mirror
brew install --cask txperl/nowadays-agent-cli/claude-code-stable   # stable channel
brew install --cask txperl/nowadays-agent-cli/claude-code-latest   # latest channel, recommended

The three `claude-code*` casks share the same `claude` binary and are **mutually exclusive** — installing a second one will fail with a Homebrew conflict error. To switch channels, `brew uninstall --cask` the current one first.
