Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:

Description of issue

My formula file is here https://github.com/unbeatable-101/homebrew-sshwifty/blob/main/Formula/sshwifty.rb

The build process continues the same as running the commands normally in my terminal, but once the build process finishes it errors out. Here is the full error:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

To build within homebrew I'm running HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --build-from-source --verbose --debug sshwifty and in the plain terminal:

npm install
npm run build

[SMillerDev]

Empty install just means it didn't install anything at the end of the build

[unbeatable-101]

So does fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git not matter then?

[SMillerDev]

It might be why the install is empty. It's hard to tell without digging into the software and its build system.

[branchvincent]

You just need to move the binary into bin/:

bin.install "sshwifty"

The fatal: not a git repository is from npm run build assuming it's in a git dir. you can update url to use a git clone or patch it out:

inreplace "package.json", "application.version=$(git describe --always --dirty='*' --tag)", "application.version=#{version}"

[unbeatable-101]

Thanks, replacing with the git url and adding a version fixed the error, and bin.install "sshwifty" installed it.
