How to deploy the Homebrew using Custom Script on your macOS devices
What is Homebrew?
Homebrew is a free and open-source package management system for macOS that simplifies software installation. It has become a popular tool among developers and system administrators for its ease of use and extensive package availability.
As with all scripts, please test thoroughly before deploying to Mac computers in production.

Homebrew integrates into the command-line interface (CLI) and allows local administrators to install required software via the CLI. This tool is particularly useful for developers and system admins who need to install libraries and tools efficiently.
