We hope that you're enjoying the holidays! We're making some important changes to how Homebrew and command-line tools work in Bluefin. These changes will land in this Tuesday's weekly build.

Homebrew

Homebrew's path will now be placed after the system path. This will cause brew doctor to complain, but we feel that this will lead to a cleaner experience overall. This has been working well in testing, and the change is already on the daily builds if you're using one of them.

Bluefin CLI

Atuin has been causing some issues, so we've disabled it by default to ensure a stable experience with bluefin-cli. We plan to investigate a better integration for Atuin in the future.

More updates coming

We will be publishing a large year-in-review update next week that will cover these topics in much more detail, but we wanted to give you a heads-up on these behavioral changes before they land. In the meantime, we've set up todo.projectbluefin.io for you to follow along with the major changes coming in Bluefin. Thanks!
