When Casks are installed, they are searched in `` `brew --prefix`/Library/Taps ``. You
can replace the files in folder `phinze-cask` but you are recommended to make
your own folder in which you place the tested Casks.

Did it install? If yes, you can continue with submitting a pull request. If
something went wrong, `brew cask uninstall my-app` and edit your Cask in

created a symbolic link in `/usr/local/Library/Taps/my-casks/Casks`, changes
created a symbolic link in `` `brew --prefix`/Library/Taps/my-casks/Casks ``, changes
are automatically reflected in there, so you can directly try installing after
those changes.
