Create a 'link --overwrite' equivalent for 'install' #1742
Description
Build sometimes fail on the link step, prompting me to link and overwrite. I would like to be able to do this straight away, as an option for the install command.
Example scenario:
==> Installing gcc
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/gcc-6.3.0.sierra.bottle.tar
==> Pouring gcc-6.3.0.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink include/c++
Target /usr/local/include/c++
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/include/c++'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite gcc
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run gcc
