Install w/ --HEAD
Formulae can specify alternate downloads for the upstream project’s devel
release (unstable but not trunk
) or HEAD (master
/trunk
).
HEAD URLs (activated by passing --HEAD
) build the development cutting edge.
Adding a --HEAD
flag to brew reinstall
will likely interact poorly when having both stable
and head
installed.
If you did brew install --HEAD food
, then brew reinstall foo
will reinstall foo
from the latest commit. There is no need to pass --HEAD
to brew reinstall
.
