Run `brew update` to migrate. Homebrew 1.0.0 (released 21 September 2016) is the oldest version that can bootstrap through this branch. Without a `master` branch, Homebrew 4.5.9 (released 7 July 2025) is the oldest version that can migrate to `main`. Installations with a stale `origin/HEAD` may need to run `brew update` twice. This migration will be removed on 1 March 2027.
