Brewfile explained

My current Brewfile explained. Some entries (like gcc) are omitted because they are self explanatory, while others (like helm) are omitted because they are much more commonly known. This leaves, lesser known and hopefully helpful programs. Enjoy!

For all my tools I like using the macchiato color scheme from catpuccin
