Homebrew Command Not Found

Usage

This is kind of a hack currently and only serves as a proof of concept.

You must have the official homebrew-command-not-found tapped:

brew tap homebrew/command-not-found

Use cargo to install:

cargo install --git https://github.com/oneElectron/brew-command-not-found

or:

git clone https://github.com/oneElectron/brew-command-not-found
cd brew-command-not-found
cargo install --path .

WARNING: This is a hack to get the proof of concept working, follow these steps at your own risk.

Find the shell loader in either: /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-command-not-found/handler.sh or: /usr/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-command-not-found/handler.sh. If you are using fish replace handler.sh with handler.fish

Then find and replace brew which-formula --explain $cmd 2>/dev/null with:

brew_which_formula --explain $cmd 2> /dev/null

restart your shell, and if everything works out, any incorrect command you type will take milliseconds to look up.
