To install this, download this formula locally and install it with brew. The formula will download the original clang-format code (version 6.0.1) from their SVN and build it locally - it takes about 10 minutes.

Installing

These are the commands to download and install:

curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bvigueras/daf11aee6876fb9ba4c925c2c31bc04b/raw/526ff0eebbc0476f568c852a8cc5d4cc48281475/[email protected] -o $(brew --repo)/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/[email protected]

brew install clang-format@6

If you already have clang-format installed (for instance with a newer version), you'll need to run an additional command, that keep both versions installed but switches the clang-format command line to point to the version 6.

brew unlink clang-format
brew link clang-format@6

Validating

Run:

clang-format --version

If the result is:

clang-format version 6.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_601/final)

You're all set!!

Uninstalling

To uninstall it:

brew uninstall clang-format@6

thanks so much
