Wait a second...

So is this another KeePass fork, and is different from this one: https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/keepassx ?

KeePassXC is a fork of KeePassX, which is a fork of KeePass.

There are some small differences between the projects in technical aspects but I don't fully recall the details.

The C in KeePassXC stands for community IRC.

Subjectively I 'd say that if you are wondering which of the 3 to use, go with KeePassXC. That's what I am using.

KeePassX was abandoned years ago, which is why KeePassXC exists. KeePass is a different product and more like the original inspiration for KeePassX/XC.

KeePassX wasn't a fork of KeePass since one was developed in Qt, the other in .NET. It was just a compatible program.

Originally, they wanted to merge KeepassXC back to KeepassX, but that idea got tossed.
