Homebrew install: Failed during: git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n --depth=1
After a few hours of research and brute force I learned the issue was due to git not being configured properly. Some articles suggested downgrading your git or reinstalling all together. However, I resolved the issue just by adding the following
git config --global user.email [email protected]
Then remove the cellar and homebrew directories from /usr/local and re-try the installation.
- create a file named
run.sh - add this:
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/brew
rm -rf /usr/local/share/doc/homebrew
rm -rf /usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1
rm -rf /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew
rm -rf /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/brew
rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew
- run the file using
sh run.sh
Or, just run all these commands manually one by one.
