How can I deploy a simple ruby script via homebrew? Here's what I tried Wrote formula in a GitHub repo named homebrew-foo # file https://github.com/foo/homebrew-foo/blob/master/foo.rb class Foo < Formula desc "A command line tool" url "https://github.com/foo/foo/archive/master.zip" version "5.0.1" def install bin.install "foo" lib.install Dir["lib/*"] end end The other repository contains the ruby script. These are the files ./foo ./lib/libfile1.rb here's what the script does #!/usr/bin/env ruby require './lib/libfile1.rb' puts "came here" The problem is that the require fails. $ brew install

Does anyone know an elegant way to accomplish this, preferably in a way that doesn't break the ability to run "rails destroy" with the generator? One more thought, this way it is also possible to run multiple model generator without
