$ git checkout -b exercism-vX.Y.Z
```

Calculate the `SHA1` checksum for the two mac builds:
## Update Homebrew

```plain
$ openssl sha1 release/exercism-mac-32bit.tgz
$ openssl sha1 release/exercism-mac-64bit.tgz
This is helpful for the (many) Mac OS X users.

First, get a copy of the latest tarball of the source code:

```
cd ~/tmp && wget https://github.com/exercism/cli/archive/vX.Y.Z.tar.gz
```

Update the homebrew-binary/exercism.rb formula.
Get the SHA256 of the tarball:

- version
- urls
- `SHA1` checksums
```
shasum -a 256 vX.Y.Z.tar.gz
```

If you are on a mac, you can test the formula by running:
Update the formula:

```plain
$ brew unlink exercism && brew install ./exercism.rb
```
cd $(brew --repository)
git checkout master
git remote add YOUR_USERNAME git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/homebrew.git
brew update
git checkout -b exercism-vX.Y.Z
brew edit exercism
# update sha256 and tarball url
brew audit exercism
brew install exercism
brew test exercism
git commit -m "exercism X.Y.Z"
git push --set-upstream YOUR_USERNAME exercism-vX.Y.Z
```

Then go to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew and create pull request.

Then submit a pull request to homebrew-binary. Note that they're very, very careful about their
commit history. If you made multiple commits, squash them. They don't merge using the button on
GitHub, they merge by making sure that the branch is rebased on to the most recent master, and
then they do a fast-forward merge. That means that the PR will be red when it's closed, not purple.
Note that they really don't want any verbose commit messages or PR descriptions when all you're doing is bumping a version.

Also, don't bother trying to DRY out the formula, they prefer having explicit, hard-coded values.
