Developer Pro guide
Homebrew policy choices
Developer Pro is coming soon. This is preview documentation; details may change before release.
Homebrew can be useful, messy, or both. The guide is about deciding how your estate should handle it.
What this helps with
A clear choice on whether Homebrew is managed, allowed, restricted, or replaced for a given developer workstation group.
Follow these steps.
- Decide whether Homebrew belongs in the managed developer baseline.
- List who can install packages and where package state should live.
- Review security expectations and ownership of updates.
- Choose the profile, policy, or script pattern that matches your decision.
- Write the support note before developers start depending on it.
Checks before you move on
