FAQPage Schema
How do I add a new Homebrew cask for a dotnet-sdk version?▼

To add a new Homebrew cask, create a correctly named stub file under Casks/ following the major.minor.feature naming convention, then run the auto_updater to populate it with the latest patch release and verify it with style checks.

What is a Homebrew cask stub and how does the updater populate it?▼

A Homebrew cask stub is a template file using placeholder version and sha256 values. The auto_updater script fetches the latest patch release to replace those placeholders with verified version and sha256 checksums.

Can I run Homebrew style checks on a newly created dotnet-sdk cask?▼

Yes, the process validates the newly created cask file against Homebrew style checks to ensure it meets repository standards before opening a pull request to merge the dotnet-sdk version.

Do I need to manually find the sha256 checksum when creating a Homebrew cask?▼

No, you do not need to manually find the sha256 checksum. You create a cask stub with placeholder values, and the auto_updater automatically fetches and populates the verified sha256 checksum for the latest patch release.

What is the correct file naming convention for a dotnet-sdk Homebrew cask?▼

The correct naming convention for a dotnet-sdk Homebrew cask follows the major.minor.feature format, ensuring the file is correctly named under the Casks/ directory in the homebrew-dotnet-sdk-versions repository.
