The `brew tap-new` command can be used to create a new tap along with some
template files.
Tap formulae follow the same format as the core’s ones, and can be added at the
repository’s root, or under `Formula` or `HomebrewFormula` subdirectories. We
recommend the latter options because it makes the repository organisation
easier to grasp, and top-level files are not mixed with formulae.
Tap formulae follow the same format as the core’s ones, and can be added under
either the `Formula` subdirectory, the `HomebrewFormula` subdirectory or the
repository’s root. The first available directory is used, other locations will
be ignored. We recommend use of subdirectories because it makes the repository
organisation easier to grasp, and top-level files are not mixed with formulae.
See [homebrew/core](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core) for an example of
a tap with a `Formula` subdirectory.
