Add support for multiple homebrew locations

Suggestion type

Both

What is your idea about?

It'd be great if both x86_64 and ARM homebrew directories are managed on the same interface without needing to change the settings.

Why should this be added?

I am using both versions of homebrew for different formulae.

It already switches the executable on the fly depending on if it's an Intel or ARM system. Could you elaborate a bit on your idea?

I have homebrew installed in /opt/homebrew/bin/brew - this is the place for ARM compatible packages, and in /usr/local/bin/brew - this is for x86_64 compatible packages. In Cork, only one homebrew directory is loaded at a time, that's why I am suggesting the option to allow a second directory to be loaded at the same time.

That's an interesting use case I have not heard of before. I’ll look into it.
