Using Homebrew without the CLT

also known as: Xcode-only, no-CLT or NCLT.

Homebrew can be used with just Xcode only. Without the CLT ("Command Line Tools for Xcode). This is experimental, but it works pretty good.

Follows are tips for making life easier:

Put this in your ~/.bash_profile:

if [ ! -x "/usr/bin/cc" ]; then
  if [ ! -x "/usr/local/bin/git" ]; then
    alias git='xcrun git'
    export GIT=`xcrun -find git`
  fi
  export MANPATH="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/share/man:$MANPATH"
  export MANPATH="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/share/man/:$MANPATH"
  alias otool='xcrun otool'
  alias install_name_tool='xcrun install_name_tool'
fi
