Interesting Taps & Forks
A tap is Homebrew-speak for a Git repository containing additional formulae.
Homebrew has the capability to add (and remove) multiple taps to your local installation with the brew tap and brew untap commands; run man brew in your terminal for usage information. 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.
