Homebrew Cask (http://caskroom.io) "a CLI workflow for the administration of Mac applications distributed as binaries" sits on top of Homebrew (http://brew.sh) package manager. Homebrew cask installs binaries to /opt and then symlinks those applications to ~/Applications
Is it possible to get AppTrap and Homebrew Cask to play nice with each other so that when for example brew cask uninstall <package> is invoked that apptrap is triggered and cleans up the remnants like it so epically does ?
Thanks

Hey Kunda,

Does Cask uninstall apps by moving them to the trash? I couldn't tell from the docs on the github site. AppTrap works by monitoring the trash folder for application bundles that are placed there.

Hey Kumaran, 
Thanks so much for your reply, would you be so kind and join this thread https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask/issues/3132 ?
I've pasted your reply to the hombrew-cask dev there. Think it would be easier to have a more productive direct conversation that way... 
Thank you for your time!
