To instruct the author of the FinderUtilities utility to create and list their app on Homebrew, you can follow these simple steps. Here's a clear way to guide them:

1. Create a Homebrew Formula:
   The author needs to create a Homebrew formula for FinderUtilities. A formula is a Ruby script that tells Homebrew how to install the app.

Steps:

The author needs to create a file for the formula, like finderutilities.rb, and place it in a Formula directory.
Example formula for FinderUtilities:

ruby
class Finderutilities < Formula
desc "A utility for Finder on macOS"
homepage "https://github.com/suolapeikko/FinderUtilities"
url "https://github.com/suolapeikko/FinderUtilities/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz" # URL of the release tarball
sha256 "abc123..." # Replace with the correct SHA256 checksum for the release tarball
license "MIT"

def install
bin.install "FinderUtilities" # Adjust this according to how the app installs
end

test do
system "#{bin}/FinderUtilities", "--version" # Replace with an actual test command
end
end
2. Create a Tap:
Instead of submitting it directly to Homebrew, the author should create their own tap to store the formula. A tap is a custom repository for Homebrew formulas.

Steps:

The author creates a GitHub repository for their tap, like: https://github.com/suolapeikko/homebrew-finderutilities.
The author adds the finderutilities.rb formula to the Formula directory of the tap.
3. Push the Formula to GitHub:
The author needs to push the formula to the homebrew-finderutilities GitHub repository.
bash
git init
git add finderutilities.rb
git commit -m "Add FinderUtilities formula"
git remote add origin https://github.com/suolapeikko/homebrew-finderutilities.git
git push -u origin master
4. Install from the Tap:
The author can now use their tap to install the app using:

bash
brew install suolapeikko/finderutilities/finderutilities
5. (Optional) Submit to Homebrew Core:
If the author wants their formula to be added to the official Homebrew repository, they can submit a pull request (PR) to the homebrew-core repository.

Steps:

Fork the official Homebrew core repository: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core.
Add the formula to the Formula directory of the fork.
Create a pull request to Homebrew’s main repository to include the formula.
Summary:
Create a formula for the app (finderutilities.rb).
Create a tap repository (homebrew-finderutilities).
Push the formula to the tap.
Install using brew install suolapeikko/finderutilities/finderutilities.
Optionally, submit a pull request to Homebrew Core.
These steps will allow the author to list their app on Homebrew, making it easier for users to install it!
