Feature Request: Homebrew Tap

Summary

Please add a Homebrew tap for cc-switch-cli to enable easier installation on macOS.

Motivation

Currently, installation requires curl | bash or manual binary download. A Homebrew tap would:

  • Allow installation via brew install SaladDay/tap/cc-switch-cli
  • Enable version management and brew upgrade support
  • Integrate naturally into macOS developer workflows
  • Avoid the need for manual PATH configuration

Proposed Approach

A dedicated tap repo (homebrew-tap) with a formula that pulls the appropriate binary for the platform (arm64/x86_64), similar to how many Rust CLI tools publish taps alongside their GitHub releases.

Context

The GUI version of cc-switch has a Homebrew tap; parity for the CLI variant would be a quality-of-life improvement for headless/server setups where the GUI is not available.

Additional Notes

The binary is already distributed via GitHub Releases, so a formula pointing to the release assets should be straightforward to set up.
