Backing up data on Android is becoming harder, even for advanced users.

BTW there may be a much better option than this out there - I just built this as an autistic project to see if it would work.

How to automate the build of bottles on your Homebrew tap

Note on Oct 4, 2018: due to a change in Homebrew's brew test-bot behaviour, the user must set HOMEBREW_TRAVIS_CI and HOMEBREW_TRAVIS_SUDO appropriately (it was previously using Travis-CI-provided TRAVIS and TRAVIS_SUDO).

This tutorial is a follow-up to the discussion we had on davidchall/homebrew-hep#114. It relies on a fork of the test-bot provided by davidchall; you can get it with brew tap maelvalais/test-bot. First:
