Simply put (by HomeBrew itself) Hombrew allows you to install the stuff you need, that apple didn’t. For example, no SSH native to the shell? “brew install openssh” and a few moments later, you can now SSH like a civilized human being. Want to install your browser real quick without having to go get it? “brew cask install google-chrome”

If you’ve never used it before, or not sure why you would need it – check out this little video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uvr9-zUB3w

How to install it:
1. Open terminal
2. Type :

(Also – I noticed that the install code in step TWO sometimes doesn’t work for whatever reason, the brew.sh page will have the new code to install home-brew if its not working using the above link)
