+# Install Go Packages In Brewfile
+
+Typically my `Brewfile` is only full of `brew` and `cask` directives. That's
+starting to change now that `brew` supports installing Go packages listed in the
+`Brewfile`.
+
+Use the `go` directive and the URL to the hosted Go package.
+
+Here is an example of a `Brewfile` that includes a `cask`, `brew`, and `go`
+directive.
+
+```
+# screen resolution tool
+cask "betterdisplay"
+
+# Mac keychain management, gpg key
+brew "pinentry-mac"
+
+# Sanitized production Postgres dumps
+go "github.com/jackc/pg_partialcopy"
+```
+
+I've recently added the exact package from above to my [`dotfiles`
+repo](https://github.com/jbranchaud/dotfiles/commit/e83e9d19504f0e2f95eba33123f907f999bf865e).
+
+Here is the [PR to `brew`](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/20798) where
+this functionality was added back in October of 2025.
