Description of issue

I want to pushing a cask by making a PR.

I've wrote the cask and next up would be the "Generation of a token for the cask" in regards to the docs.
Since I don't have an app bundle, I just used the name. I get this error:

$(brew --repository homebrew/cask)/developer/bin/generate_cask_token "TangleGuard CLI"
/opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask/developer/bin/generate_cask_token:200:in `basename': uninitialized constant AppName::Pathname (NameError)

	from /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask/developer/bin/generate_cask_token:440:in `<main>'

Providing just the name instead of the path, results in the same error:

The command you're trying to run takes an app file name as input. If you input something else it's not expected to work. We'll review pull requests to improve the error handling though

Thanks for the response!

I've tried using the name of my binary because of this paragraph in the docs:

If the software you wish to create a cask for is not installed, or does not have an associated App bundle, just give the full proper name of the software instead of a pathname.

$(brew --repository homebrew/cask)/developer/bin/generate_cask_token "Google Chrome"

In my case I don't have an app bundle and the software I want to create a cask for is not installed, hence the I provided the name of the software.

Can you tell how I can generate the token? 🤔 The software I want to distribute is a closed source CLI tool, so basically just a binary
