• What Does Homebrew Do?

  
  

  Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t.

• Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local.

• Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like.

• It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates.

• Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew.

• “To install, drag this icon…” no more. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software.
