Summary

  • Document brew install bumblebee in README (Homebrew core formula is now merged)
  • Add GoReleaser brews config to auto-publish/update a perplexityai/homebrew-tap formula from release binaries

Context

Homebrew core formula merged: Homebrew/homebrew-core#284878 (2026-05-28)

Users can install today with:

brew install bumblebee
bumblebee selftest

This PR documents that path and adds optional GoReleaser automation for an official perplexityai/homebrew-tap. If Perplexity creates that repo and adds HOMEBREW_TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN to release CI, tagged releases can keep the tap formula in sync automatically.

Test plan

  • brew install bumblebee works via Homebrew core
  • Formula installs from release tarballs via third-party tap
  • bumblebee selftest passes after install

Document brew install once the homebrew-core formula lands, and wire
GoReleaser to publish/update a homebrew-tap formula on release.

@adel-pplx request review.

Homebrew core was merged (#284878), so the primary install path is now brew install bumblebee. This PR adds README documentation for that and optional GoReleaser brews automation for a perplexityai/homebrew-tap.

Would appreciate a review when you have a moment
