This is still quite a bit more work than publishing to npm:

1. Jump to separate repository

2. Create a .tar.gz with sensitive filename

3. "upload somewhere"

4. Manually update formula, sha, version

4. Push

Versus:

1. npm bump && npm publish

I ended up automating the formula updating after getting tired of doing that every other day, for a private tap.

I feel your pain, part of the motivation for writing this was that yesterday I wanted to set up a new project, and realized I'd forgotten half the steps. Been thinking that something like https://github.com/aktau/github-release could be helpful for automating the release process, or maybe adding it as a step in a CI workflow.
