Older Notes

The missing package manager for OS X
http://brew.sh/

From your Mac

$ brew help

If you just want the package names for all formulas:
$ brew search

The following command will list the info snippets for all existing Homebrew formulae:
$ brew info --all

You can also start a server to browse the formulae locally at http://localhost:4567:
$ brew server

Or browse the local Git repository—thanks to Mk12 for that:
$ ls $(brew --prefix)/Library/Formula

Online - Other than that, you can just browse the following website:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tree/master/Library/Formula
