Feature Request

It would be great to have a Homebrew formula (or tap) for installing git-ai on macOS and Linux.

Current installation:
curl -sSL https://usegitai.com/install.sh | bash
Desired:
brew install git-ai
or
brew tap git-ai-project/tap
brew install git-ai
Why?

Many developers (myself included) prefer managing CLI tools through Homebrew for a few reasons:

Consistent update workflow via brew upgrade

Easy uninstallation via brew uninstall

Transparency — formula source is inspectable before install

Discoverability — tools on Homebrew get found more easily

Enterprise adoption — many companies standardize on Homebrew for developer tooling

Since git-ai is a compiled Rust binary with pre-built releases for macOS (x64/ARM64) and Linux (x64/ARM64), a Homebrew formula using the existing GitHub release artifacts should be relatively straightforward to set up.

Happy to help if you'd like a PR for this!
