Add a `brew update --force` to side-step all of the clever optimisations we have to detect if an update is unnecessary. That means if those optimisations go wrong in future we can tell people just to run this single command. This would have been a useful workaround for the issue fixed in 985c672.
README
Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t.
- Install Homebrew
- Frequently Asked Questions
- Tips and Tricks
- Gems, Eggs and Perl Modules
- Homebrew and Python
Please note: Homebrew is not 1.0 yet. Generally it works well, but when it doesn’t we’d hope you report the bug.
Troubleshooting
First, please run brew update
(twice) and brew doctor
.
Second, please read the Troubleshooting Checklist.
If you don’t follow these steps it will take us far longer to help you with your problem.
However! Fixing build issues is easier than you think: try
brew edit $FORMULA
and see how you fare.
