What unix convention are you referring to?

    Okay, so can you explain to me how putting .git/, README.md and Cellar/ in /usr/local/ doesn't break that convention but putting them in /usr/local/homebrew/ does?

  FHS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard)

    Can't see how that applies. Does FHS really say anything about the structure underneath /usr/local ? Besides which, the Mac's filesystem isn't FHS in the first place...

      Does FHS really say anything about the structure underneath /usr/local If you want to be strict about it, yes: http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s09.html http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s09.html
