Homebrew overview
Homebrew is a command line utility designed to streamline the installation of various libraries and utilities that you might need to run certain applications, but have not been included in your macOS installation by default.
The both application provides you with access to a large collection of packages which you can browse using the command line, or by making use of online resources such as the Braumeister website.
Effortless to install macOS package manager that runs in the Terminal
To deploy Homebrew on your Mac, you can manually download the source code archive and install wherever you like, or you can run the command provided by the development team in Terminal window (will place Homebrew in the /usr/local folder):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Version: 4.0.10
"brew update" at this time results not in v4.0.10, but v4.0.9. Trying to update further results in a series of 'access' errors. I'll be attempting "update" again later.

Version: 3.3.5
This says it is for 10.9.0 or later. However, when using brew now, it complains that it is not supported on 10.14. "We (and Apple) do not provide support for this old version.
You will encounter build failures with some formulae.
Please create pull requests instead of asking for help on Homebrew's GitHub,
Twitter or any other official channels. You are responsible for resolving
any issues you experience while you are running this
old version."

Error:
homebrew-core is a shallow clone.
homebrew-cask is a shallow clone.
To `brew update`, first run:
git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core fetch --unshallow
git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask fetch --unshallow
This restriction has been made on GitHub's request because updating shallow
clones is an extremely expensive operation due to the tree layout and traffic of
Homebrew/homebrew-core and Homebrew/homebrew-cask. We don't do this for you
automatically to avoid repeatedly performing an expensive unshallow operation in
CI systems (which should instead be fixed to not use shallow clones). Sorry for
the inconvenience!

Version: 2.3.0
The easiest way to install Homebrew is via the Terminal while logged into your Admin account: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Version: 2.2.11
The macOS command line and shell script ecosystem would be a barren wasteland without Homebrew. Which is better? Homebrew or MacPorts? Both have their pros & cons, so I use them both, but I prefer Homebrew and use MacPorts only for the stuff that isn't available via Homebrew. Must-have for anyone who ventures beneath the GUI.
