								Homebrew has the capability to add (and remove) multiple taps to your local installation with the `brew tap`  and `brew untap`  commands; run `man brew`  in your terminal for usage information. The main repository at < https: // github . com / Homebrew / homebrew-core > , often called `homebrew/core` , is always built-in.
