Description of issue

The reason why I'm asking this is that https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/visual-studio-code only shows variations for Intel, but I was able to install VS Code using brew and it seems to work. The cask code https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/a2004664a0017ea485d70ef2868d43b80f23118f/Casks/v/visual-studio-code.rb seems to have some part related to arm, so maybe the documentation is outdated?

In general, how do I know if a cask or a regular package is compatible with my arch when using brew?

same problem here

It should have installed the arm64 version because your prefix is /opt/homebrew and you aren't using Rosetta. This is most likely a bug with the site rendering.

Running into the same thing.

[jloveland]

I solved this by installing the arm version of homebrew, fixing the path to point to the new /opt/homebrew location and ensuring my ZSH and environment recognized I was running arm instead of intel

That did it. Appreciate it!
