Discussion @ https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/3029 may be useful. @MikeMcQuaid may want to use you for more troubleshooting though.

git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master. Already fixed; hopefully we don't see too many people who hit this window :sob:

If only we had a magic autoupdater ...

Yup, the explicit git fetch got it going.

[MikeMcQuaid]

Closing as this is fixed, crossing fingers we don't get a million of these reports and re-adding the CI job in https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/521 which would have caught this.

Beat you!

This works for me. Might be worth pointing out that this needs to be run in /usr/local/Library/Homebrew

[ilovezfs]

It will work there, but the root of the repository is actually just /usr/local.
