The guide on [opening a pull request](How-To-Open-a-Homebrew-Pull-Request.md#submit-a-new-version-of-an-existing-formula) should really be all you need, this will explain how to easily change the url to point to the latest version and that's really all you need. If you want to read up on `bump-formula-pr` before using it you could check [the manpage](Manpage.md#bump-formula-pr-options-formula).
You can look back at previous pull requests that updated the formula to see how others have handled things in the past but be sure to look at a variety of PRs. Sometimes formulae are not updated properly (for example, running `bump-formula-pr` on a Python formula that needs dependency updates), so you may need to use your judgment to determine how to proceed.
However, some updates require additional changes to the formulae. You can look back at previous pull requests to see how others have handled things in the past but be sure to look at a variety of PRs. Sometimes formulae aren't updated properly, so you may need to use your judgment to determine how to best proceed.
Once you've created the pull request in the appropriate Homebrew repository your commit(s) will be tested on our continuous integration servers, showing a green check mark if everything passed or a red X if there were failures. Maintainers will review your pull request and provide feedback about any changes that need to be made before it can be merged.
