For macOS, there is the *qgis3-dev* Homebrew formula in this repo (thanks
to everyone who helped and continues to help with that effort, including my
employer, Boundless, who funded quite a bit of my contribution):
https://github.com/qgis/homebrew-qgisdev

It also includes a tutorial for doing development builds as well:
https://github.com/qgis/homebrew-qgisdev/blob/master/development/README.md

There is currently a problem with compilation against Qt 5.8.0, but I'm
working on it.

For general testing by Homebrew users, automating the binary output of the
built formula would allow them to install from pre-built packages, instead
of building from source. This would require Travis build times to be
extended for that repo or some small Homebrew setup inside of QGIS source
tree.

It would be good to continue work on extending that Homebrew install
process with an optional full bundling of a QGIS.app (optionally with major
Processing deps included). Then, an easy to use standalone QGIS3.app beta
for macOS can be generated.

If full bundling was produced, then the QGIS project could offer its own
macOS releases, code-signed with the OSGeo certificates. It was mentioned
that such a revamping of the macOS bundling routines might be a reasonable
grant proposal to the project.
