Description of issue

I am trying to create a Cask for my app at https://github.com/Akylas/SimulatorCamera/
The cask file is https://github.com/Akylas/SimulatorCamera/blob/main/Casks/simulatorcamera.rb
Now i am not sure how i can have brew see it.
I have seen that the repo name should start with homebrew-? If that possible to get around it? I would really like not to have to maintain another repo just for that

You could manually link repo url to the tap.
