disclaimer #1: I work at tea to that end, we think the kind of people that enjoy discovering projects on github intersect with people who, first and foremost, want to use them. so, how can we build on homebrew with its simplicity to remove the only barrier between a package that you find and your using it? a core principle we focused on was to develop a package manager that eliminated the package management for end users. tea focuses on usage, allowing you to use anything you discover on GitHub, as long as it is packaged by us. We built on Homebrew's simplicity, by replacing `brew install foo` with a much simpler `tea foo` -- effectively bypassing the install step, so you can use it without any additional steps. disclaimer #2: i am a python developer, so package management to me by definition is along the lines of virtual environments, making sure i get numpy before pandas, etc. etc. one standout feature of tea is that it sandboxes everything. tea automatically injects virtual environments with the required packages into project directories with a readme and .git. i found this feature particularly valuable, especially when dealing with `graphviz` and `pygraphviz`. tea consistently solves such issues, ensuring a smooth development process. disclaimer #3: I am learning bash right now, but prefer a front-end app. the gui is what you hope GitHub's discover page was. we've got some fun AI tools right now, including stable diffusion's web-ui and openai's whisper trained on llama -- all open source.
🎉 Congrats to team tea on launching their free, open-source GUI package manager! 🌟 Here is my honest opinion: One-click installs, easy updates, and more security with sandboxed environments. 💪 Excited to see what else they have in store! 👀 What are your thoughts on the future of open-source funding?
Hey there! Have you heard of tea? It's the ultimate cross-platform package manager that's here to revolutionize the way we install and manage software. No more clunky and slow installations, just smooth and speedy operations. And the best part? It comes from the same creator of Brew. Get ready to experience the future of package management with tea!
Although I often have to work with the terminal in my work, I honestly hate it. Tea Gui is just wow for me. Beautiful and user-friendly interface, installing/updating packages with just a click of a button. This is mega cool!
I guess I'm an early tea adopter and I prefer it to anything else. There's something so refreshing to having the same software stack on my macOS and Linux computers. It's so much easier than Docker for many tasks. This is the first community project that I've felt really good contributing to. Max and the tea team have been very responsive and it has been such a pleasure working with them.
I need some clarification I just attempted to replace brew with tea ( its a healthier lifestyle choice for me) Because it is fantastic until I realized the --magic isn't happening for me. I wanted to reinstall iterm2 or pnpm via cli and the tea just sobered me up. I expected a full replacement - the same simple cli command interface where I can look up tea install iterm2 and i can copy and paste the code. or a very nice tutorial in the docs or youtube explaining the subtle difference, I was told it's the "homebrew replacement by the makers of home brew" and sure once I drink the tea ill be chill massaged into the tea's awesome long-term game plan of putting projects in pantries and repos on the blockchain saving open source for always. But in order to get people to use it (like me), especially from the simplicity that is brew I need more from this tool then the promise of magic - I need it to work. so please point me in the right direction because I need some tea. ASAP :).
