Default Homebrew tap containing the built-from-source formulae that `brew install` pulls from out of the box.
Why you might care
This is the main formula repository for Homebrew, so most packages installed with brew come from here. Contributors use it to add or update open-source formulae; users rarely need to clone it directly since it is installed by default.
