# brew plugin
The plugin adds several aliases for common [brew ](https://brew.sh ) commands.
To use it, add `brew` to the plugins array of your zshrc file:

```zsh
2018-10-02 08:10:03 +02:00
plugins=(... brew)
```

## Shellenv
2022-10-14 20:27:42 +02:00
If `brew` is not found in the PATH, this plugin will attempt to find it in common
locations, and execute `brew shellenv` to set the environment appropriately.
This plugin will also export `HOMEBREW_PREFIX="$(brew --prefix)"` if not previously
defined for convenience.

## Completion
2023-06-15 11:01:02 +02:00
This plugin configures paths with Homebrew's completion functions automatically, so you don't need to do it manually. See: https://docs.brew.sh/Shell-Completion#configuring-completions-in-zsh.
2020-05-26 17:36:55 +02:00
With the release of Homebrew 1.0, they decided to bundle the zsh completion as part of the
brew installation, so we no longer ship it with the brew plugin; now it only has brew
aliases. If you find that brew completion no longer works, make sure you have your Homebrew
installation fully up to date.
