brew config output

What were you trying to do (and why)?

Install homebrew on an arm machine, I followed the instructions in the README but the install script has changed and now check for tags which are not present as per https://github.com/Homebrew/install/commit/8eb03394e3f4081c1519fc01bb562faf0c6fbd14

What happened (include all command output)?

Failed to query latest Homebrew/brew Git tag.

What did you expect to happen?

Homebrew to install

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git "$(rbenv root)"/plugins/ruby-build  # apt's ruby-build is too out of date
rbenv install 2.6.10
rbenv shell 2.6.10
export HOMEBREW_BREW_GIT_REMOTE=https://github.com/huyz/brew-for-linux-arm
export HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER=1
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh | sed '532s/abort/warn/')"
[...]
==> Downloading and installing Homebrew...
Failed to query latest Homebrew/brew Git tag.

And with set -x you can see where it fails::

++ /usr/bin/git tag --list --sort=-version:refname
+ LATEST_GIT_TAG=
+ [[ -z '' ]]
+ abort 'Failed to query latest Homebrew/brew Git tag.'
+ printf '%s\n' 'Failed to query latest Homebrew/brew Git tag.'
Failed to query latest Homebrew/brew Git tag.

Hi @lnlyssg,

It's require at least one tag in the repo. You can fork it and put the tag, or just use mine as temporary workaround. https://github.com/sergeycherepanov/linuxbrew-arm

@sergeycherepanov I ended up making my own fork from brew then adding the extras from this repo to it back in April - https://github.com/lnlyssg/brew

Oh I missed this issue somehow. I'll take a look at it

@sergeycherepanov Is that all that's needed? Ok I started creating tagged releases. I will sync with upstream every week, force-push, and then create a new release every week.
