The default Git remote will be used if the corresponding environment variable is unset.

## Skip Tap Cloning (beta)

You can instruct Homebrew to skip cloning the Homebrew/homebrew-core tap during installation by setting the beta `HOMEBREW_INSTALL_FROM_API` environment variable with the following:

```bash
export HOMEBREW_INSTALL_FROM_API=1
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
```

This will make Homebrew install formulae and casks in homebrew/core and homebrew/cask taps using Homebrew’s API instead of local checkouts of these repositories.
