homebrew-simantic

Homebrew tap for the Simantic CLI (sim).

brew tap simantic-dev/simantic
brew install simantic

Then sign in:

sim login   # opens a browser

What this tap installs

Formula/simantic.rb fetches the prebuilt sim binary directly from the public release manifest and installs it into $(brew --prefix)/bin — no build step, since sim is closed-source. This is the same pattern other closed-source CLIs use on Homebrew (1Password's op, flyctl, doppler): a self-hosted tap that just downloads and installs a signed artifact.

This is also why it's not in homebrew-core — that tap requires publicly buildable source. A self-hosted tap has no such requirement and needs no Apple Developer Program membership or code-signing work.

Published platforms today: osx-arm64 (Apple Silicon) and linux-x64. Intel Mac and other Linux architectures have no published build yet.

Status

Live. The formula's url/sha256 are pinned to the real 0.5.2 artifacts from releases/cli/latest.json, verified by downloading and running sim --help locally before publishing this tap.

Bumping the version

The release manifest is public and unauthenticated:

curl -s https://drjdhqfvrttolueolzif.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/releases/cli/latest.json

Update version, both urls, and both sha256s in Formula/simantic.rb from that manifest, then:

brew audit --strict simantic
brew install --build-from-source simantic  # sanity check locally
brew test simantic
