nb tap / trust

nb tap [OPTIONS] [NAME] [URL] nb trust [OPTIONS] [NAMES]...

nb tap with no arguments lists the tapped repositories. With user/repo it taps that repository, fetching it from github.com/user/homebrew-repo unless you give a URL. nb untap removes taps.

nb trust marks third-party taps, formulae, casks or commands as trusted so they may be loaded; nb untrust reverses it. Official taps are always trusted.

Differences from brew

Third-party taps are supported through nb tap and nb trust, as described here. Taps that Homebrew serves through its API (homebrew/core, homebrew/cask) are read from the API, not cloned.
