Configure your Homebrew installation according to the defined support tiers to ensure optimal functionality and support. For Tier 1 support (fully supported):

Non-standard configurations will receive reduced support (Tier 2 or 3) or may be entirely unsupported. When using shared dotfiles across platforms, use platform detection:

command -v brew || export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:/usr/local/bin"
command -v brew && eval "$(brew shellenv)"
