How to uninstall Homebrew.md

Get that nasty brew out of your system directories!

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Caskroom/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar/

Now remove all broken symlinks from /usr/local/opt/ which, on a typical brew-infected system, will be all of them:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/opt/
