Description
:clipboard: **Description**
As homebrew recommends more and more formulae to live in 3rd party taps, it would be necessary for these tapped formulae to have badges pointing to the 3rd-party tap.
Homebrew itself already has a format for installing from a 3rd party tap directly:
`brew install owner/tap/formula` would point to formula under: github.com/owner/homebrew-tap
As such, my request would be that the existing homebrew badge just accept formula names that include the `owner/tap/` prefix.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Locate the existing Homebrew badge implementation and its tests, then read how formula names are parsed and mapped to installation links. Extend the accepted input to include the owner/tap/formula form and verify that the resulting badge points to the corresponding third-party tap.
