Feature Request: Homebrew formula for git-ai installation #565

Feature Request

It would be great to have a Homebrew formula (or tap) for installing git-ai on macOS and Linux.

Current installation:

curl -sSL https://usegitai.com/install.sh | bash

Desired:

brew install git-ai

or

brew tap git-ai-project/tap
brew install git-ai

Why?

Many developers (myself included) prefer managing CLI tools through Homebrew for a few reasons:

  • Consistent update workflow via brew upgrade
  • Easy uninstallation via brew uninstall
  • Transparency — formula source is inspectable before install
  • Discoverability — tools on Homebrew get found more easily
  • Enterprise adoption — many companies standardize on Homebrew for developer tooling

Since git-ai is a compiled Rust binary with pre-built releases for macOS (x64/ARM64) and Linux (x64/ARM64), a Homebrew formula using the existing GitHub release artifacts should be relatively straightforward to set up.

Happy to help if you'd like a PR for this!
