Ii might be overreacting but I think exactly same thing.

- posted by Fig aficionado.

- in the form of infotainment instead of brew issue ticket.

- points to Fig repo instead of proper issue in brew repository.

Please don't steal or attention on minor thing like this to adv your product.

Have you ever tried to open a brew issue ticket? Unless you follow the exact format of their template, your ticket is deleted almost immediately.

Lat I looked the template assumed a very narrow scope of issues you could be reporting and demands an exhaustive amount of information.

Even as a former contributor, I got banned from the Homebrew GitHub org and all relevant comments deleted merely for pointing out, reasonably politely, to the brew maintainer that he was ignoring another user’s valid issue. It’s the worst response by far I’ve ever seen on an issue tracker and convinced me to delete brew from all my machines and never use it again.
