Homebrew: the missing package manager for OS X

Yesterday I want to install a git, and press the PORT command on Pro git.

$ sudo port install git-core +svn +doc +bash_completion +gitweb

We need to install ten so-called dependencies of OSX, such as SSL, which are not fast and finally gave up the redundant package management method.

Uninstall macports

$ sudo port -f uninstall installed$ sudo rm -rf /  /opt/local /  /Applications/DarwinPorts /  /Applications/MacPorts /  /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* /  /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg /  /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg /  /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup /  /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 /  /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 /  ~/.macports$ sudo pkgutil --forget org.macports.macports

Homebrew is filled with various comments on the Internet and will not repeat them any more.
