This is the Homebrew tap for Cubic, a lightweight command-line manager for virtual machines.
Cubic spins up Linux virtual machines on Linux, macOS, and Windows with a single command. It uses prebuilt cloud images so instances are ready to use within seconds — no administrative privileges or background services required.
