What you were trying to do (and why)

Trying to install homebrew on macOS Monterey version 12.6

What happened (include command output)

Failed during: git fetch --force origin

This is an issue with your internet connection.

This is an issue with your internet connection.

My internet connection works perfectly.

Clearly not because github.com should not be resolving to localhost port 1089.

Regardless: this is not a Homebrew issue but an issue with your local machine/setup/internet connection/anything.
