FAQPage Schema
How do I automate update PRs for Homebrew casks when new versions are available?▼

To manually bump a specific Homebrew cask version, use the manual update workflow to validate the version, SHA, and URLs. This approach is ideal when automatic updates are insufficient or a particular dotnet-sdk version is required.

How does the Homebrew cask update process handle multiple cask PRs?▼

The cask update process isolates changes per pull request to enable independent CI validation. It coordinates across multiple casks while ensuring each PR remains separate, preventing conflicts during automated version bumps and meta cask updates.

What do I need to create Homebrew cask update pull requests?▼

To create Homebrew cask update pull requests, you need access to the auto_updater.py script, git, and the GitHub PR workflow. These dependencies allow you to execute dry-runs and generate real PRs for dotnet-sdk cask version bumps.

When should I manually update a Homebrew cask instead of using auto_updater?▼

You should manually update a Homebrew cask when automatic updates are insufficient or a specific dotnet-sdk version is required. This allows you to force updates missed by auto_updater and validate version, SHA, and URL details before proposing changes.
