I've installed many programs with homebrew, but only one is shown in Launchpad. How can I show also others in that menu?
I have to open them from CLI, but someone has difficult name to remember and I want add them in Dock.

If the installed package has a .app
, you can add a symlink to it inside your ~/Applications
folder.
Launchpad will pick it up from there.
However, most packages installed by homebrew aren't what OS X calls "Applications", so you might not be able to do it out of the box.
An alternative would be to create an Automator workflow that runs a shell script, and save that workflow as an app.
