i just noticed that kernel.org is Down for maintenance. is there a different formula which uses a different mirror ? or could i add a different source (like bundler?) to hom

Answer 1

Updated for 2015: The solution is much simpler asssuming you have ruby.

@Sharpie added mirror support several years ago. The top answer here is more work than necessary. Do this instead:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

And then:

brew install git
