But also just to clarify, the intention for this post was how to fix this issue if it had already occurred NOT a "how to install brew correctly" guide. If the issue had occurred, you wouldn't need to run the eval command agai

Completely agree. There is a tradeoff between letting user do everything themselves such that they know exactly what's happening in their system vs just doing it for them and making sure they don't make a mistake. Perhaps a better

Yep I mistyped. Meant to say standard "suggestion" format. Trying to imply that each suggestion conforms to a specific standard that we have set but that lets you customise things like the text it suggests, what is inserted, icon
