Hi.

Linuxbrew (linuxbrew.sh) is looking for contributors!

Linuxbrew is a fork of Homebrew, the macOS package manager, for Linux.

It can be installed in your home directory and does not require root access. The same package manager can be used on both your Linux server and your Mac laptop. Installing a modern version of glibc and gcc in your home directory on an old distribution of Linux takes five minutes.

A good start is to look at the open issues and pull requests in the formula repository: github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core

We have an entry level issue with tasks for beginners: github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core...

We also need help to make sure all packages are building and running correctly. There are still more than 2000 packages that need to be built and tested.

Testing and pull requests are welcome!
