What is homebrew-cask?
Homebrew Cask is a command-line extension to Homebrew that simplifies the installation and management of GUI macOS applications distributed as binaries.

macOS developers and power users who prefer command-line workflows and want to automate application management. It's particularly valuable for those who frequently install development tools, design software, or other GUI applications.
Developers choose Homebrew Cask because it eliminates the friction of manual macOS app installations, provides consistent management through a familiar CLI interface, and integrates seamlessly with the existing Homebrew ecosystem for a unified package management experience.
