A Homebrew tap providing formulas and casks for installing the Emacs Mac Port, a patched GNU Emacs build with enhanced native macOS GUI support. It packages builds from the upstream emacs-mac repository, including experimental Emacs 30/31 versions.
Use cases
- install emacs mac port on macos with homebrew
- get native mac gui emacs with better integration than the cocoa build
- install prebuilt emacs binaries via homebrew cask
- try experimental emacs 30 mac port builds
- keep emacs mac port up to date via brew upgrade
When to choose
- you want Emacs with native macOS features like smooth scrolling and native tabs on a Mac
- you already use Homebrew and want an easy install/upgrade path for Emacs Mac Port
When to avoid
- the official NS (Cocoa) Emacs build is good enough for you
- you are not on macOS
- you need Emacs 30+ stability rather than experimental builds
