What does `brew man` do

homebrewterminal

I mean brew man, not man brew.

It says:

Fetching: hpricot-0.8.6.gem (100%) Building native extensions. This
could take a while… Successfully installed hpricot-0.8.6 Fetching:
rdiscount-2.1.8.gem (100%) Building native extensions. This could

Fetching: ronn-0.7.3.gem (100%) Successfully installed ronn-0.7.3 4
gems installed Writing manpages to /usr/local/share/man/man1

So what have I installed? What does it do?

Best Answer

From Homebrew issue #40735, what would the command "brew man cask" do? (which can be found by simply googling "brew man")

brew man generates the Homebrew manpage from markdown, using these gems to do the translation.
