Homebrew/brew: README-based editorial guide

Homebrew/brew describes itself in the README as "🍺 The Package Manager for Everywhere". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "🍺 Homebrew", the README says: See Homebrew's homepage at brew.sh for installation instructions, what homebrew does, packages, brew bundle and more.. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.

The README's "🤝 Contributing" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: perform a strict audit on a package you use e.g. brew audit --strict ffmpeg for FFmpeg. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: brew tap --force homebrew/core or brew tap --force homebrew/cask (depending on whether you'd rather work on formulae or casks). It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.

The operating model is spread across sections such as "💸 Donations". The source evidence includes: Please consider a regular donation through GitHub Sponsors.. This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.

Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: README 没有给出可直接复制的安装命令。 When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "💸 Donations" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
