Once you've pushed to `origin`, there's no going back: you're a
maintainer now, you can't force-push to fix your mistakes!
## Creating new Linux specific formula
Make a PR to `Homebrew/linuxbrew-core` containing one commit named like this: `name (new formula)`. Keep only one commit in this PR, squash and force push to your branch if needed. Include a comment: `# tag "linuxbrew"` in the formula after the `url` stanza, so maintainers can easily find Linux only formulae.
For `brew pull` to be successful when new formulae are added, we have to insert an empty bottle block into the formula code. This usually goes after the `linuxbrew` tag.
```ruby
bottle do
end
```
