Is there a special meaning of the / (slash) in the name of the brew? Or is it just a slash as a string?

问题

https://sass-lang.com/install suggests the following installation method:

If you use the Homebrew package manager for Mac OS X or Linux, you can install Dart Sass by running

brew install sass/sass/sass

Is there any special meaning to the /? Or is it simply a string of characters?

回答1:

The slashes have meaning, they separate the name into three parts. See for example https://docs.brew.sh/Taps:

If you need a formula to be installed from a particular tap, you can use fully qualified names to refer to them.

• The first two parts are assumed to be a GitHub user/org and repo. The repo is prefixed with homebrew-, taking us to the tap: https://github.com/sass/homebrew-sass.
• The third is the specific formula to install from that tap, sass.rb.
