Homebrew - uninstall formula with dependencies

I use brew extensively on MacOS. It’s just as convenient as many Linux package managers. What I don’t like, it leaves dependencies after removal of formula. There’s simple way to clean it up by running one command 1. Uninstall with dependencies brew uninstall FORMULA brew autoremove Info In my case running brew autoremove actually removed few packages I really wanted to have. Check the output carefully! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7323261/uninstall-remove-a-homebrew-package-including-all-its-dependencies  external link  ↩︎
