Homebrew/brew ? reverse-engineered prompt

Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a command line package manager for macOS that lets people install, update, remove, and search software from a central catalog. It should support both developer tools and regular desktop apps, handle dependencies automatically, and give clear feedback when something goes wrong. I also want a way to bundle up a list of packages so someone can recreate the same setup on a new machine.

Please make it feel polished and reliable, with helpful help text, man page support, and a few common commands a normal person would expect, like checking for problems and updating everything. If there are any current best practices or docs I should follow, look them up online and use them.

Keep it focused on the core package manager experience, with sensible defaults and friendly error messages. I’d like the result to be something that feels like Homebrew, simple to use from the terminal, and ready for real users.
