Homebrew packages are formulae and casks.Formulae are package definitions that build command-line tools, libraries and services from upstream source code.Formulae in homebrew/core require human review before they are accepted, changed or updated and must be open source software with a Debian Free Software Guidelines-compatible licence (see the requirements in Acceptable Formulae). They are maintained by Homebrew's maintainers and contributors. Create formulae with help from the Formula Cookbook.Other package repositories are called taps; they let anyone maintain their own formulae and casks outside the officially supported repositories. Read how tap trust works before using non-official taps, then learn how to create and maintain a tap.`$ brew create https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-8.1.1.tar.xzCreated .../homebrew-core/Formula/ffmpeg.rb`desc "Play, record, convert, and stream select audio and video codecs"url "https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-8.1.1.tar.xz"sha256 "b6863adde98898f42602017462871b5f6333e65aec803fdd7a6308639c52edf3"system "./configure", "--prefix=#{prefix}", "--enable-shared"Casks are package definitions that install upstream pre-built binaries such as applications, fonts and plugins.Some casks auto-update outside Homebrew, so use `brew upgrade --greedy` if you want Homebrew to update them too.
