Where can I view tools or packages availble in Homebrew

I am trying homebrew for the first time. I used to use macports. In macports, it is quick clear which ports are available, and their versions (http://www.macports.org/ports.php).

Is there any such website / tools in hombrew?

Thanks!

Following Jerome Mahuet's answer, I could not find how to locate various versions of a particular formula.

here is what my problem was:

  • I installed homebrew as instructed on the website
  • This installed the very basics of homebrew, but did not install the .git repository folder
  • As a result, brew versions ruby did not work
  • to fix this, simply type brew update

You can then view the versions via 

brew versions ruby

You can browse the Formula directory on GitHub. Or type brew search. There is even a website braumeister.org.
