To install this, download this formula locally and install it with brew. The formula will download the original clang-format code (version 8.0.0) from their SVN and build it locally - it takes about 15 minutes.

Installing

These are the commands to download and install:

curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/farzadshbfn/ed4d07a1212dfa8c23d7f64655cda7de/raw/075fb397cc9ff33b63a5c1a1897b38a2fc11c249/[email protected] -o $(brew --repo)/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/[email protected]

brew install clang-format@8

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 8.

brew unlink clang-format
brew link clang-format@8

Validating

Run:

clang-format --version

If the result is:

clang-format version 8.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_800/final)

You're all set!!

Uninstalling

To uninstall it:

brew uninstall clang-format@8
