distribute via homebrew

This is a really interesting project.

Any chance of it being distributed via homebrew?

Hi and thanks a lot for your kind feedback!

It surely would be cool. However, some languages needs "native" tools to be installed on the machine, notably C and Python, but apart from that I'd love to install GumTree with a one-liner.

However, I am afraid that I will not will have the time to do it myself 😢, therefore I will add help-wanted on this one!

Cheers.

@jrfaller Is this still a desired feature?
I would like to take a look into this and assist.

Hi @pouryafard75! Sure I think distributing GumTree more widely would be awesome. A very good point in this direction is that now the default distribution is very lightweight since we use treesitter-ng for all external parsing tools, dropping the requirement for having Python installed. Therefore the default jar is a fully contained Java fatjar that should not be hard to deploy on any system!
