How to migrate from homebrew to homebrew-core? about homebrew-core HOT 5 CLOSED

Is it an update to a formula, or something to the core brew package manager?

If it's a formula update, no need to migrate: maintainers can pull directly from PRs on the legacy repo to the new homebrew-core repo (thanks, @xu-cheng!), and we're still going through the backlog there.

If it's a core brew code update, you can migrate it to a new PR over on homebrew/brew using GitHub's .patch mechanism and a new PR.

Any PRs in particular that need attention?

Ok, thanks for the info.

I have only one PR remaining in legacy: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#50257

from homebrew-core.

Oh, that one's a biggie, and it's not ready to merge yet, right? Probably better to transfer it to a new PR on the new repo.

The brew pull command can help transfer this:

• In the new repo (with your new fork as a remote), create a new branch for this PR
• Check out that branch and cd $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
• Run brew pull --legacy 50257. That'll pull all the commits from that old PR down to the branch that you're currently in.
• git push <tschoonj-or-whatever-your-remote-is> to push it to a new branch in the new repo
• Make a new PR from that, and close the old PR

Thanks Andrew, will give it a try.

Presume this is safe to close now as per #267 being opened.
