brew-bundle: Install packages from a Brewfile at the current path.

brew

$ brew bundle

try on your machine

The brew bundle command is a command-line tool used in Homebrew, a package manager for macOS. It is used to install or upgrade packages listed in a "Brewfile".

A Brewfile is a plain text file that contains a list of packages, along with their versions and any other configuration options. It is similar to a requirements.txt file used in Python's pip or a Gemfile used in Ruby's Bundler.

When you run the brew bundle command, Homebrew looks for a Brewfile in the current working directory. It then reads the file and installs or upgrades the listed packages, ensuring that the specified versions and configurations are applied. If a package is already installed, it will be upgraded to the specified version if necessary.

This command provides a convenient way to manage and reproduce a set of packages across different systems or environments. It allows you to easily install or update multiple packages at once, based on the configurations defined in the Brewfile.
