Homebrew installation error: "not a valid ref: refs/remotes/origin/master"?

I have tried to install Homebrew on macOS Monterey by following the instructions at https://brew.sh/.
But it resulted in:
error: Not a valid ref: refs/remotes/origin/master
Error: Fetching /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core failed!
fatal: invalid upstream 'origin/master'
Failed during: /opt/homebrew/bin/brew update --force --quiet
I encountered this error on my brand new Macbook Pro with the M2 processor. What worked for me was removing the contents of the homebrew directory
rm -rf /opt/homebrew
Then running the uninstall script (its the same as the intall script on the homebrew except change the last part from install to uninstall. Assuming the link has not changed on the homebrew website I ran these two commands and it installed successfully.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
You can run brew -v or brew doctor to check if your install is good.
My error was after a failed previous install with WSL... so same on windows, only:
cd /home
sudo rm -rf homebrew/
This worked on M1.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
git config --global core.compression 0
git config --global http.postBuffer 1048576000
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Removing the directory and trying to reinstall worked for me.
sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew
Please run the following commands in your terminal:
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core) # because you can't `brew untap homebrew/core`
brew tap homebrew/core

Had a similar issue on Mac, I uninstalled it first by typing the command below and I installed Xcode, it worked for me after running the install command again.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
I first installed it onto my Linux system using the command recommended on the homebrew install page:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
but it seem to take a long time, and "hung" showing the output:
Resolving deltas: 100% (793706/793706), done.
for quite a while. I was impatient and killed the process then, and tried the install again. That is when I got the error reported by the OP. The fix was to uninstall the partially installed homebrew, and install again:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Homebrew installation in mac is giving error

I want to install homebrew on my mac system but i am not able to install. Installation process is giving me error.
error: could not lock config file /usr/local/Homebrew/.git/config: Permission denied
fatal: could not set 'core.repositoryformatversion' to '0'
Failed during: git init -q
I have tried below command to install homebrew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Remove the current installation with:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew
and install it again without using sudo:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
the location have change so now use this :
sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew
and install again with :
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Java Homebrew installation

I am trying to install Homebrew on my Mac, for use with Java development. I have followed the instructions at: https://brew.sh, and pasted the command: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" into my terminal.
When I do this, a few scripts are executed, and I get the output:
MacBook-Pro:~ me$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
==> This script will install:

MacBook-Pro:~ me$
So the output is telling me that it's already up-to-date, presumably because I've already tried installing it once or twice?
How can I delete the paths to run brew update, like it's telling me to?
I encountered this error. The fix is to run the command sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local/* as described on the Tech Stacker blog post that solves this issue.

Homebrew Installed But Also Not Installed

When I tried to install homebrew I got this error. It started simple but then I was perplexed.
cjbrigna$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
==> This script will install:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/': Could not resolve host: github.com
Failed during: git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n --depth=1
No problem, github was down for a little while. So I tried again later.
cjbrigna$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Which makes me think I have homebrew.
cjbrigna$ brew help
-sh: brew: command not found
Well clearly I didn't have homebrew.
cjbrigna$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
Failed to locate Homebrew!
Well now I can't install or uninstall homebrew. This makes no sense. What did I do wrong? I appreciate any help.
You can finish the install process manually:
cd /usr/local
git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n --depth=1
git reset --hard origin/master
Then ensure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH. If it is you should then be able to run e.g. brew help to check that Homebrew is installed.
