It might be good to explain how this differs from zerobrew [0], which is trying to accomplish the same thing

I also have a solution mostly for myself but others are welcomed to it: https://zieka.github.io/bru/

Outlined some differences here between the various projects; might be useful: https://github.com/zieka/bru?tab=readme-ov-file#how-bru-comp...

Zerobrew looks mature, I'll check it out.

Btw, I noted this:

> Zerobrew is experimental. We recommend running it alongside Homebrew rather than as a replacement, and do not recommend purging homebrew and replacing it with zerobrew unless you are absolutely sure about the implications of doing so.

So I guess its fine to run this alongside Homebrew and they don't conflict.

And zerobrew, like the original Homebrew, is compatible with Linux.

It appears that Nanobrew is not.

I care about the light-weight efficiency of these new native code variants much more when I want to use brew on some little Linux container or VM or CI, than I do for my macOS development machine.

>Install zerobrew via brew as per the official instructions.

>Immediately get an error saying the install path is too long and needs to be fixed as /opt/zerobrew/prefix is too many bytes.

Yeah gonna need some work.
