HOMEBREW – How can I get more information about the BREW formula before installation?

## brew info FORMULA_NAME
brew info wgetpaste

wgetpaste: stable 2.20
http://wgetpaste.zlin.dk/
Not installed
https:/ /github.com/mxcl/homebrew/commits/master/Library/Formula/wgetpaste.rb

I know I can do something

## brew info FORMULA_NAME
brew info wgetpaste

Output

wgetpaste: stable 2.20
http://wgetpaste.zlin.dk/
Not installed
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/commits/master/Library/Formula/wgetpaste.rb

Then I can get some formula information before installation according to the url. Do we have any way to get this information using brew on the command line?

No. Homebrew intends to use the website as documentation for the package, rather than maintaining a separate copy.

You can make a brew home to start the browser from the command line, or brew edit to check the installation instructions of the formula in the editor.
