Point new users at the install that sets everything up and keeps it current: GitX is in Homebrew's main cask repository, and the README mentioned only downloading a release by hand. - Lead the install section with `brew install --cask gitx`, which picks the build for the Mac, adds the `gitx` command-line tool to the PATH, and is kept up to date by `brew upgrade` - Keep downloading a release as the alternative
