Docker: Spawn Linux tools on macOS within seconds.
Tool not available? Just spawn a container!
I recently came across an old, corrupted Git repository of mine and just wanted to use git-repair, which was, unfortunately, not available via Homebrew. Instead, I opted to spawn Ubuntu and mount my current folder into the container:
docker run -it -v $PWD:/app ubuntu /bin/bash
Usually you want to run another apt update
before you
apt update
And you are ready to install (as always with caution)!
