security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for root. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Installs with 29 runtime dependencies.
  • Build metadata lists 3 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.

Configuration files

Config paths the tool may read or write during local use.

CaveatsAs of ROOT 6.22, you should not need the thisroot scripts; but if you depend on the custom variables set by them, you can still run them: For bash users: . $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/thisroot.sh For zsh users: pushd $HOMEBREW_PREFIX >/dev/null; . bin/thisroot.sh; popd >/dev/null For csh/tcsh users: source $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/thisroot.csh For fish users: . $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/thisroot.fish
