Brew provides a command `brew bundle` for installing dependencies from a `Brewfile` which would be committed to a repository with an optional lockfile. It would be nice if the Brew install step supported this functionality so you could avoid duplicating the declaration of your dependencies in both the Brewfile and the step (or bitrise.yml).
