# Interesting Taps & Forks

A [tap](Taps.md) is Homebrew-speak for a Git repository containing extra formulae.

Homebrew has the capability to add (and remove) multiple taps to your local installation with the `brew tap` and `brew untap` commands. Type `man brew` in your terminal. The main repository at <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core>, often called `homebrew/core`, is always built-in.

Your taps are Git repositories located at `$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps`.

## Unsupported interesting taps
* [homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg](https://github.com/homebrew-ffmpeg/homebrew-ffmpeg): A tap for FFmpeg with additional options, including nonfree additions.

* [denji/nginx](https://github.com/denji/homebrew-nginx): A tap for NGINX modules, intended for its `nginx-full` formula which includes more module options.

* [InstantClientTap/instantclient](https://github.com/InstantClientTap/homebrew-instantclient): A tap for Oracle Instant Client. The packages need to be downloaded manually.

* [osx-cross/avr](https://github.com/osx-cross/homebrew-avr): GNU AVR toolchain (Libc, compilers and other tools for Atmel MCUs, useful for Arduino hackers and AVR programmers).

* [petere/postgresql](https://github.com/petere/homebrew-postgresql): Allows installing multiple PostgreSQL versions in parallel.

* [osrf/simulation](https://github.com/osrf/homebrew-simulation): Tools for robotics simulation.

* [brewsci/bio](https://github.com/brewsci/homebrew-bio): Bioinformatics formulae.

* [davidchall/hep](https://github.com/davidchall/homebrew-hep): High energy physics formulae.

* [lifepillar/appleii](https://github.com/lifepillar/homebrew-appleii): Formulae for vintage Apple emulation.

* [gromgit/fuse](https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-fuse): macOS FUSE formulae that are no longer available in `homebrew/core`.

## Unsupported interesting forks

* [mistydemeo/tigerbrew](https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew): Experimental Tiger PowerPC version.
doc/Interesting-Taps-&-Branches: rename to Interesting-Taps-&-Forks This document lists Tigerbrew and Linuxbrew as interesting forks, not branches (they used to be "Interesting Branches (aka forks)" but that changed in b745546), so "Interesting Taps & Branches" is a more fitting title. The term "branches" is also presumably confusing to folks with a shallow understanding of GitHub and/or git who may not realize how GitHub forks and git branches are related. 2016-09-04 17:23:44 -04:00			`# Interesting Taps & Forks`

Remove mentions to official taps There are none remaining. We don’t want PHP to get the deprecated messages until all formulae have been deleted so that will be in a later PR. 2018-03-31 13:42:33 +01:00			Your taps are Git repositories located at `$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps`.
