系统 macOS Big Sur 版本 11.0
芯片Apple M1

brew运行任何命令都会报错，原因是 brew 只支持正式发行版。

~ brew install svn

/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/version.rb:368:in `initialize': Version value must be a string; got a NilClass () (TypeError)

解决方法
从错误中可以看得出来 是version.rb 这个文件的368行报错，我们可以直接给他个写死的版本 即可，让他认为macOS是正式发行版

修改后代码：

 def initialize(val)
    #raise TypeError, "Version value must be a string; got a #{val.class} (#{val})" unless val.respond_to?(:to_str)

    @version = '10.14.1'
  end

把抛出异常的语句注释掉，然后 version 指定为 10.14.1。
再次运行就不会报错了。
记得最好不要更新brew，不然代码可能会被覆盖掉。下次还得改一遍。
