Requires Homebrew to be installed on your macOS or Linux system before you can add this tap.
This repository is a Homebrew "tap" maintained by Cybertec, a PostgreSQL-focused company. Homebrew is a popular package manager for macOS (and Linux) that lets you install software by typing a simple command instead of downloading installers manually. A tap is essentially an extra channel that extends what Homebrew can install beyond its default catalog. In practical terms, this tap lets you install Cybertec's PostgreSQL-related tools and utilities through Homebrew. Once you add the tap to your system, you can use standard Homebrew commands to install whatever Cybertec packages are offered here, and they'll be managed just like any other Homebrew-installed software, easy to update, uninstall, and keep track of. The audience for this would typically be developers or database administrators on macOS who already use Homebrew and want to work with Cybertec's PostgreSQL tools. For example, if you're someone who prefers managing all your command-line tools through a single package manager rather than hunting down individual installers, this gives you a convenient way to pull in Cybertec's offerings alongside everything else. The README doesn't go into detail about which specific packages are included, so you'd need to look at the repository contents or run the tap command to see what's actually available. The project is written in Ruby, which is the language Homebrew formulas use to describe how software should be downloaded and installed. It's a straightforward piece of infrastructure, not a standalone app, but a distribution channel that makes Cybertec's tools easier to get onto your machine.
