Contents.History Homebrew was written by Max Howell in 2009. In March 2013, Homebrew successfully completed a campaign to raise funds for servers to test and build formulae and managed to raise 14,859. On December 13, 2013, the Homebrew repository migrated from Howell's GitHub account to its own project account. In February 2015, due to downtime at which resulted in binaries being unavailable, Homebrew moved their hosting to bintray. On September 21, 2016, Homebrew version 1.0.0 was released.

It is by default installed into /usr/local and consists of a repository, allowing the user to update Homebrew by pulling an updated repository from GitHub. The package manager builds software from source using 'formulae', Ruby scripts constructed with Homebrew's (DSL) for managing dependencies, downloading source files, and configuring and compiling software.
Binary packages called 'bottles' provide pre-built formulae with default options. Homebrew does not honor the default of /usr/local; directory is changed from with group permissions for the group to the installing user and the 'admin' group. Specifically, the mode changes from drwxr-xr-x root wheel to drwxrwxr-x myuser admin.
All files, not just the directories, have their ownership changed by the installer. This is considered by some as a major security flaw. Data collection Homebrew collects installation, build error, and operating system version statistics via.
