While it is useful to be able to see the user's path in bug reports, it is perhaps slightly too intrusive to post this without the user's permission. A path can have usernames or other project sensitive information, and several Homebrew users were editing their bug reports to omit this information. `brew doctor` will still report on the path issues that we typically care about, so dropping automatic posting of PATH.
Homebrew
Features and usage are summarized on the homepage.
Quick Install to /usr/local
This script will prompt for confirmation before it does anything:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsS http://gist.github.com/raw/323731/install_homebrew.rb)"
Afterwards, install Xcode.
Umm… I thought I could install it anywhere?
Indeed, you can. Refer to our complete installation instructions.
Dude! Just give me a one-liner!
Okay then, but please note this installs Homebrew as root and we recommend against that.
curl -LsSf http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | sudo tar xvz -C/usr/local --strip 1
