Remove Homebrew Directory:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew
rm -rf ~/.homebrew

Clone Homebrew using the SSH link:

git clone [email protected]:Homebrew/brew.git ~/.homebrew

Add Homebrew to your PATH:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.homebrew/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Source your profile to update the PATH:

source ~/.bash_profile

Check if Homebrew is installed:

brew --version

Remove the current installation with:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew

and install it again without using sudo:

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