@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ Homebrew uses Git for storing formulae and contributing to the project.
As-of [Homebrew 4.0.0](https://brew.sh/2023/02/16/homebrew-4.0.0/), formulae are downloaded from `https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula.json`, which is automatically regenerated by a scheduled formulae.brew.sh job from the `master` branch of the homebrew-core repository.
Homebrew installs formulae to the `Cellar` and then symlinks some of the installation into `$(brew --prefix)` e.g. `/opt/homebrew` so that other programs can see what's going on. We suggest running `brew ls` on a few of the kegs in your Cellar to see how it is all arranged.
Homebrew installs formulae to the Cellar at `$(brew --cellar)` and then symlinks some of the installation into the prefix at `$(brew --prefix)` (e.g. `/opt/homebrew`) so that other programs can see what's going on. We suggest running `brew ls` on a few of the kegs in your Cellar to see how it is all arranged.
Packages are installed according to their formulae. Read over a simple one, e.g. `brew edit etl` (or [etl.rb](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/etl.rb)) or a more advanced one, e.g. `brew edit git` (or [git.rb](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/git.rb)).
