But do you have a way to migrate to new hardware when the time comes?

Basically grabbing a saved Brewfile[1], running `brew bundle install` and waiting a while.

Fun trivia: the original implementation[0] was 17 lines of Ruby, which was absolutely terrible because I didn't know what I was doing. I'm happy to see that it's grown so much!

Projects are often like stone soup, it takes somebody to kick the process off, and I thank you for that.

I saw that it now supports Whalebrew[1], which seems interesting. One of the issues that I have with Brew is that often my need is temporary and that I want to be able to clean up afterwards (similar to `git stash`).

Do you know of an easy way to create a brew bundle from already installed applications?

In the readme it's mentioned. brew bundle dump https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle/blob/master/READ...

Thanks. Totally missed that.

Edit: Huh, only 90 packages. I was expecting more!
