I am trying to brew install a small executable called "ets". The default install is version 0.1 of ets which is out of date. I have manually edited the ets formula ".rb" file with URL and SHA of the latest version of ets but it fails. I have tried a number of permutations but always get this:

fatal: not in a git directory

This is the formula:

  end

  test do
    assert_match "[00:00:00]", shell_output("#{bin}/ets -s echo hello").chomp
  end
end

I'm totally lost. I can't figure out what thing or file is "not in a git directory". The source code was found and downloaded. So, what more is needed ? Does the developer have to upload something so Homebrew can find it ?

Thanks.

Thank you for that suggestion. I ran those three commands. The results were interesting. In particular, "brew config" reports "Rosetta 2: false". Rosetta 2 is installed on my Mac so, I don't know why Brew would says "false".

"brew doctor" suggested running "brew link ets" which I did. But that didn't solve my problem. Anyway, here are the results:

"brew config" reports "Rosetta 2: false". Rosetta 2 is installed on my Mac so, I don't know why Brew would says "false".

brew config is saying you're not running Homebrew under Rosetta, not that Rosetta isn't installed.

The problem you're having is this:

% brew config
HOMEBREW_VERSION: >=2.5.0 (shallow or no git repository)
ORIGIN: (none)
HEAD: (none)
Last commit: never
Core tap ORIGIN: (none)
Core tap HEAD: (none)
Core tap last commit: never
Core tap branch: (none)

The Homebrew code and core taps are all supposed to be managed by Git, but the above output says Git doesn't even recognize these directories. Did you copy these directories over from another machine or a backup? If so, you likely forgot to copy over the .git and other dot-subdirectories in those directories.

Probably the best thing to do right now is to run the Homebrew installer again.

should I do this to homebrew-services?

gromgit Mar 11, 2023

should I do this to homebrew-services?

Not without understanding what it does. From the git-config man page:

safe.directory

These config entries specify Git-tracked directories that are considered safe even if they are owned by someone other than the current user. By default, Git will refuse to even parse a Git config of a repository owned by someone else, let alone run its hooks, and this config setting allows users to specify exceptions, e.g. for intentionally shared repositories (see the --shared option in git-init(1)).

If you're allowed to manage Homebrew, why aren't the Homebrew repos owned by you? As the Homebrew FAQ says:

If you need to run Homebrew in a multi-user environment, consider creating a separate user account specifically for use of Homebrew.

instead of making Homebrew repos accessible by everyone and their dog.

Did you copy these directories over from another machine or a backup?

No. I followed what I thought was the way to install Homebrew (from "https://brew.sh"):

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

I did that using an Admin account as only admins have sudo access.

As you suggested, I've re-run the Homebrew installer. Of note, it said:

Updated Homebrew from 555cf335a to 6188f15bb.
Updated 2 taps (homebrew/core and homebrew/cask).
==> Installation successful!

I then re-ran: brew install --debug ets with this result:

Ah hah ! Think I found the problem.

The "remote add origin" command failed with this error:

fatal: unsafe repository ('/opt/homebrew' is owned by someone else)

I had to install Homebrew using an Admin account (because user accounts are not in the sudo list). But, that made the admin account owner of the opt/homebrew/ folder. So, I changed the owner to my user account (and applied that change to all contents of opt/Homebrew). Then I re-ran my original attempt to install ets:

 % brew install ets

Seems to me it would help to remind people to ensure correct ownership on the "opt/Homebrew" folder.

The correct ownership of /opt/homebrew is exactly the user who installed it. That's why the Homebrew FAQ says:

If you need to run Homebrew in a multi-user environment, consider creating a separate user account specifically for use of Homebrew.

But, ideally, every Mac should have at least 2 user accounts: one admin and one standard. That way, the admin account can be kept for security-sensitive work. I have a second standard account on my Mac for development work.

Is there a risk in using the admin account for Homebrew work ?

gromgit Mar 13, 2023

Is there a risk in using the admin account for Homebrew work ?

There's always a risk when installing new software, but Homebrew takes great care to limit the things it can do on your system (sandboxing installs, banning sudo usage except for specific commands, etc.), so the risk of using Homebrew itself in an admin account is minimal.

SMillerDev Mar 13, 2023

Is there a risk in using the admin account for Homebrew work ?

No, since Homebrew will refuse to run with admin privileges.

 ✔  brew doctor
Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: Missing https://github.com/Homebrew/brew git origin remote.

Without a correctly configured origin, Homebrew won't update
properly. You can solve this by adding the remote:
  git -C "/usr/local/Homebrew" remote add origin https://github.com/Homebrew/brew

Warning: Your Command Line Tools are too outdated.
Update them from Software Update in System Preferences or run:
  softwareupdate --all --install --force

If that doesn't show you any updates, run:
  sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
  sudo xcode-select --install

Alternatively, manually download them from:
  https://developer.apple.com/download/all/.
You should download the Command Line Tools for Xcode 13.4.


Warning: A newer Command Line Tools release is available.
Update them from Software Update in System Preferences or run:
  softwareupdate --all --install --force

If that doesn't show you any updates, run:
  sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
  sudo xcode-select --install

Alternatively, manually download them from:
  https://developer.apple.com/download/all/.
You should download the Command Line Tools for Xcode 13.4.


Warning: Some installed kegs have no formulae!
This means they were either deleted or installed manually.
You should find replacements for the following formulae:
  python@2

Warning: Some installed formulae are deprecated or disabled.
You should find replacements for the following formulae:
  mysql@5.6

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and which additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew-provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
  /Users/vadorequest/.pyenv/shims/python2-config
  /Users/vadorequest/.pyenv/shims/python3.6m-config
  /Users/vadorequest/.pyenv/shims/python2.7-config
  /Users/vadorequest/.pyenv/shims/python-config
  /Users/vadorequest/.pyenv/shims/python3-config
  /Users/vadorequest/.pyenv/shims/python3.6-config
  /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.6/bin/gdal-config

Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.

Unexpected dylibs:
  /usr/local/lib/libwkhtmltox.0.12.6.dylib

Warning: Unbrewed header files were found in /usr/local/include.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.

Unexpected header files:
  /usr/local/include/wkhtmltox/image.h
  /usr/local/include/wkhtmltox/pdf.h

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  python@2
