Homebrew Services
Integrates Homebrew formulae with macOS's launchctl manager.
By default, plists are installed to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ and run as the
current user upon login. When brew services is run as the root user, plists
are installed to /Library/LaunchDaemons/, and run as the root user on boot.
