Allow installation through homebrew

Started this: Homebrew/homebrew-core#32154 (review)

However it fails, issue in commander opened: tj/commander.js#866

Very cool. Thank you! I'm working on a continuos integration pipeline to create binaries and push them to GitHub releases right now. I guess this would help, wouldn't it?

[daften]

yes, homebrew formula's and casks still need manual updates, but that's fairly easy to do. The PR for the gtt-taskbar app wasn't accepted though (Homebrew/homebrew-cask#52100), so i created my own tap atm: https://github.com/daften/homebrew-custom.

Starting with version 1.7.30 precompiled binaries for Mac/Win/Linux (x64) are available via GitHub releases. 😃

[daften]

I've updated the PR for this. It would be nice if the binaries were executable by default, if that's possible.

[daften]

I applaud your effort, however, this is what needs to be done: "Please revert the last commit, Homebrew formulae are required to build from source." (Homebrew/homebrew-core#32154 (comment))

[kriskbx]

I will keep the binaries as a convenient way for users to download and install gtt when experiencing problems with other installation methods. (Will update Readme soon)
Anyway: Thank you so much for your effort to get the Homebrew formulae up and working. If there's anything I can do don't hesitate to ask, but I guess we have to wait for the commander and/or yarn team to fix this.

[daften]

Yeah, makes sense. No worries, I'll get everything ready so when command fixes that issue (somebody proposed to make a PR 3 days ago), we can get that in. Thanks for this tool, saves me a lot of time ;)

[kriskbx]

Me too, that's why I built it 😄 You're welcome!

[kriskbx]

I made some changes today by forking the commander library and fixing it. All issues with gtt-config(1) does not exist, try --help should be resolved by now.

[daften]

I won't submit it to the official repository again, but I created a formula in a custom tap: https://github.com/daften/homebrew-custom/blob/master/Formula/gitlab-time-tracker.rb

From that it should be fairly easy to create a formula for the official repo if somebody wants to do this. It works now, so I'll close this.

Thanks @kriskbx
