# 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 plugins=(... brew) ``` ## Shellenv 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. In case you installed `brew` in a non-common location, you can still set `BREW_LOCATION` variable pointing to the `brew` binary before sourcing `oh-my-zsh.sh` and it'll set up the environment. ## Aliases | Alias | Command | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `ba` | `brew autoremove` | Uninstall unnecessary formulae. | | `bci` | `brew info --cask` | Display information about the given cask. | | `bcin` | `brew install --cask` | Install the given cask. | | `bcl` | `brew list --cask` | List installed casks. | | `bcn` | `brew cleanup` | Run cleanup. | | `bco` | `brew outdated --cask` | Report all outdated casks. | | `bcrin` | `brew reinstall --cask` | Reinstall the given cask. | | `bcubc` | `brew upgrade --cask && brew cleanup` | Upgrade outdated casks, then run cleanup. | | `bcubo` | `brew update && brew outdated --cask` | Update Homebrew data, then list outdated casks. | | `bcup` | `brew upgrade --cask` | Upgrade all outdated casks. | | `bfu` | `brew upgrade --formula` | Upgrade only formulae (not casks). | | `bi` | `brew install` | Install a formula. | | `bl` | `brew list` | List all installed formulae. | | `bo` | `brew outdated` | List installed formulae that have an updated version available. | | `brewp` | `brew pin` | Pin a specified formula so that it's not upgraded. | | `brews` | `brew list -1` | List installed formulae or the installed files for a given formula. | | `brewsp` | `brew list --pinned` | List pinned formulae, or show the version of a given formula. | | `bsl` | `brew services list` | List all running services. | | `bsoff` | `brew services stop` | Stop the service and unregister it from launching at login (or boot). | | `bsoffa` | `bsoff --all` | Stop all started services. | | `bson` | `brew services start` | Start the service and register it to launch at login (or boot). | | `bsona` | `bson --all` | Start all stopped services. | | `bsr` | `brew services run` | Run the service without registering to launch at login (or boot). | | `bsra` | `bsr --all` | Run all stopped services. | | `bu` | `brew update` | Update brew and all installed formulae. | | `bubo` | `brew update && brew outdated` | Update Homebrew data, then list outdated formulae and casks. | | `bubu` | `bubo && bup` | Do the last two operations above. | | `bugbc` | `brew upgrade --greedy && brew cleanup` | Upgrade outdated formulae and casks (greedy), then run cleanup. | | `bup` | `brew upgrade` | Upgrade outdated, unpinned brews. | | `buz` | `brew uninstall --zap` | Remove all files associated with a cask. | ## Completion 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. 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.
