brew China mirrors

CS // 17 Nov 2024 // Comments Off on brew China mirrors

China blocks git, so we need to use mirrors for brew.sh install
Tsinghua and Aliyun both host mirrors. Aliyun seems faster, so we will use that below.

USTC Mirror – https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/help/brew.git.html
Aliyun Mirror – https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew/

#install brew from ustc
/bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/misc/brew-install.sh)”

#install tap for brew cask upgrade mirror
brew tap –custom-remote –force-auto-update buo/cask-upgrade https://gitcode.com/gh_mirrors/ho/homebrew-cask-upgrade/

#set aliyun mirror for brew and update
export HOMEBREW_INSTALL_FROM_API=1
export HOMEBREW_API_DOMAIN=”https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew-bottles/api”
export HOMEBREW_BREW_GIT_REMOTE=”https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew/brew.git”
export HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE=”https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew/homebrew-core.git”
export HOMEBREW_BOTTLE_DOMAIN=”https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew/homebrew-bottles”
brew update

#alternately use ustc
export HOMEBREW_BREW_GIT_REMOTE=”https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/brew.git”
export HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE=”https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/homebrew-core.git”
export HOMEBREW_BOTTLE_DOMAIN=”https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/homebrew-bottles”
export HOMEBREW_API_DOMAIN=”https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/homebrew-bottles/api”
brew update

#add aliyun mirror permanently into zsh
echo ‘export HOMEBREW_INSTALL_FROM_API=1’ >> ~/.zshrc
echo ‘export HOMEBREW_API_DOMAIN=”https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew-bottles/api”‘ >> ~/.zshrc
echo ‘export HOMEBREW_BREW_GIT_REMOTE=”https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew/brew.git”‘ >> ~/.zshrc
echo ‘export HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE=”https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew/homebrew-core.git”‘ >> ~/.zshrc
echo ‘export HOMEBREW_BOTTLE_DOMAIN=”https://mirrors.aliyun.com/homebrew/homebrew-bottles”‘ >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

#update brew, casks
brew update; brew upgrade; brew cu -af;
