Question: I have installed MySQL via [homebrew](https://brew.sh/): `brew install mysql`. I'd like to get the MySQL preference pane hooked up to my installation of MySQL through homebrew. How can I achieve this?

Answer: 
See [my answer to your question at superuser.com](https://superuser.com/a/413814/121764).
My understanding is that you can't get the MySQL Preference Pane via homebrew. But if you download the 64-bit DMG file from [MySQL's community server download page](http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/), it includes an installer, preference pane, and startup script.
