- It's always a pain to re-number everything when adding or removing
steps, so let's use the Markdown numbering trick.
- This does render correctly in HTML, I tested building the site.
- more sensible/performant defaults: default to primary repositories
only for the last year rather than all repositories forever
- allow specifying more than one user at a time
- output the breakdown of contributions without needing `--csv`
- add a space before the `--csv` output
- consolidate some code
- avoid counting authored commits twice, to improve performance
- retry failed GitHub API calls (this happens often when querying all
maintainers)
- stop counting after we find 1000 commits for a given user to avoid
excessive API queries/pagination
My understanding is that now https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/15778
has been merged this should now work fine on both older macOS versions
and non-default prefixes so let's try this again.
For a long time people have requested some sort of configuration files
for Homebrew. Now: here's the first version of that.
Similarly to how you can configure Git for a system, a repository or
a user: you can configure Homebrew for a system, a prefix or a user.
The system-wide configuration file is `/etc/homebrew/brew.env`, the
prefix-specific configuration file is
`$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/homebrew/brew.env`
and the user-specific configuration file is `~/.homebrew/brew.env`.
As we need to read these files from Bash in `bin/brew` (so they can)
influence functionality ASAP: they are in a simple format that Bash
can read. It may be that we have more complex array or hash data in
future that's configured through JSON or YAML (most likely JSON as we
use it more) and stored in a `brew.json`/`brew.yaml` file in the same
directory.
As this is relying on `eval` in Bash which is fairly dangerous: we
filter the lines with a regex to ensure we're only permitting setting
`HOMEBREW_*` variables and nothing more.
To give a bit of power to system administrators, the
`HOMEBREW_SYSTEM_ENV_TAKES_PRIORITY` variable can be set in
`/etc/homebrew/brew.env` to ensure that the system-wide configuration
file is loaded last and overrides any prefix or user settings.
Now that we have an actual location for configuration files, let's also
change the `brew livecheck` watchlist configuration file to be in this
directory and deprecate the existing location. As this is a developer
command and the mitigation is to just move the file: we don't need to
follow the normal deprecation process here.
