Homebrew: List only installed top level formulas
homebrew
Solution
Use `brew leaves`: show installed formulae that are not dependencies of another installed formula.
Problem
I'm looking for a way to show only the formulas I installed without the installed dependencies. I want to have a list of all the programs I actually installed, without all noise of the dependencies. I do know about `brew list` which lists all installed formulas. I also know that `brew graph` gives me a dependency graph in the `graphviz` Or in other words: I want to have the minimal set of formulas to reinstall my system.
