Version Specific Teleport Tap

brew install teleport@<version>

You can either update your $PATH for the version of Teleport installed, or you can tell Homebrew to link a version for you:

brew link --force teleport@<version>

If the above command is scary then the following command will print what is going to be changed

brew link --force --dry-run teleport@<version>

• Teleport 2.7
• Teleport 3.0
• Teleport 3.1

Adding New Versions

Adding another version is fairly straightforward. Technically, it is adding a file into the Formula subdirectory with the proper information for the version. Realisticly, it's better to copy an existing file and make the changes to it.

There are three changes - the name of the class (on first line), the URL to the archive file, the sha256 hash of the archive file. Computing the sha256 hash requires the archive file. So it must be downloaded locally and then run the shasum -a 256 command on a Mac.
