Emacs Head

Emacs Head is a GNU Emacs formula based on the original Homebrew emacs formula.

Why yet another Homebrew Emacs formula?

Since the option --with-cocoa is not available in the latest Emacs homebrew-core formula (see pull request), I decided to build my own formula.

This formula currently supports:

Bottles (26.3) are available for the following macOS versions:

if you need support for an older macOS version open an issue.

You can install this formula using:

brew tap daviderestivo/emacs-head
brew install emacs-head --with-cocoa

brew tap daviderestivo/emacs-head
brew install emacs-head --HEAD --with-cocoa
