perfect thank you

perfect thanks a lot

Why is this installation text different from the one on the homebrew website : /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" . What difference does /usr/bin/ruby -e and the exclusion of .sh at the end do for mac?
