Homebrew is interesting because they used to store packages in bintray before it shutdown. They switched to ghcr.io (OCI) for package storage. The metadata (the catalog of formula for building and installing packages) is stored in Git. The brew update command would run git pull to bring down diffs. They recently migrated to a JSON REST API to distribute formula in v4. The API for the REST API is well documented here. It looks like they support pulling the entire catalog and individual formula. I'm not seeing a diff capability which I find surprising.
