[Feature Request] Homebrew cask install script

[muescha]

I would like to have a homebrew cask command.

So that I can install it like:

brew install freeter
brew install --cask freeter # or

[muescha]

Livecheck

for the update/livecheck there can be the ElectronBuilder strategy block

Redirects:

there is a redirect from

• from https://freeter.io/download/r/v2.4.0-beta/Freeter-2.4.0-beta-mac-arm64.dmg
• to https://github.com/FreeterApp/Freeter/releases/download/v2.4.0-beta/Freeter-2.4.0-beta-mac-arm64.dmg

but no redirect for the latest tag to the latest-mac.yml:

• https://github.com/FreeterApp/Freeter/releases/latest/download/latest-mac.yml

tried:

• https://freeter.io/download/latest-mac.yml
• https://freeter.io/download/latest/r/latest-mac.yml
• https://freeter.io/latest/download/r/latest-mac.yml

sadly I see that freeter was removed in 2022 (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pulls?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Apr+freeter+is%3Aclosed) due to no existing downloads.

Maybe create a custom tap or give it a new try with the version 2.x:

File	Downloads
Freeter-2.4.0-beta-mac-x64.dmg	165
Freeter-2.4.0-beta-mac-arm64.dmg	362

I am not so familiar with the zap stanza: are the zap files are still valid?

  zap trash: [
    "~/Library/Application Support/freeter",
    "~/Library/Preferences/io.freeter.helper.plist",
    "~/Library/Preferences/io.freeter.plist",
    "~/Library/Saved Application State/io.freeter.savedState",
  ]

Note for naming: maybe as feeter@beta like described here:

https://docs.brew.sh/Acceptable-Casks#beta-unstable-development-nightly-or-legacy

but since there is no stable, this suffix can be avoided?
