I installed mongoDB via
brew install mongodb --devel
How would I go about upgrading the HEAD since I didn't use the --HEAD flag during installation?

I'm trying to install Ruby version 2.7.2 on my Mac (latest OS with all updates) and did the following
brew update
brew upgrade rbenv ruby-build
and then
rbenv install 2.7.2
ruby-build: definition not found: 2.7.2
See all available versions with `rbenv install --list'.
If the version you need is missing, try upgrading ruby-build:
brew update && brew upgrade ruby-build
So I tried following the instructions above and get this
brew update && brew upgrade ruby-build
Already up-to-date.
Warning: ruby-build 20200926 already installed
You need to install the latest ruby-build
$ brew unlink ruby-build # remove STABLE version
$ brew install --HEAD ruby-build
$ rbenv install -l | grep '2.7.2'
2.7.2
Only latest stable releases for each Ruby implementation are shown.
Use 'rbenv install --list-all' to show all local versions.
The answer from #andrei-kovrov is correct but, alternatively, you can wait until this PR gets merged:

Btw, this answer will not age well so, for reference, this is where the formulae are staged before they get released:

It might be an issue reading the correct version of ruby based on the path that is specified. If you already have another version of ruby installed the path might not be updated to look for a newer version.

How do I force brew to install latest version of neovim (ver 0.5.0) when brew's formula only has 0.4.3?
I have tried:
brew update
brew upgrade neovim
And it says: Warning: neovim 0.4.3 already installed
I went brew's git repo and checked on neovim formula. Brew has neovim's 0.4.3, not 0.5.0. So brew update/upgrade is not going to help. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/neovim.rb
I'm thinking of just downloading neovim from neovim repo and installing it manually, but I'm afraid I'll have to manage updates and dependencies if I do this manual install.
curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/nightly/nvim-macos.tar.gz
tar xzf nvim-macos.tar.gz
./nvim-osx64/bin/nvim
What should I do?
I fixed this with the following steps:
1) Unlink old neovim version:
brew unlink neovim ... and 2)
Install pointing to head:
brew install --HEAD neovim
... This installed neovim 0.5.0.
According to the brew doc, brew install --HEAD will install the master branch of the package. For neovim, it means that the latest version of neovim will be built for you, which may not be stable enough or even compile.
I suggest you install the nightly binary version of neovim. The best way to get the nightly version is to download from the binary release. No dependency is required to install if you download the binary release.
If you don't want to do this manually, you can write a bash script to automate this.
Following the Laravel guide to install valet on MacOS 10.11 El Capitan using homebrew, fails during php install # nghttp2 dependency
Specifically php install depends on httpd which in turn depends on nghttp2.
nghttp2 installation fails with (Brew was unable to install [nghttp2].)
Last 15 lines from /Users/<username>/Library/Logs/Homebrew/nghttp2/02.make: _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY unique_ptr(unique_ptr&& __u) _NOEXCEPT shrpx_client_handler.cc:1002:10: error: no viable conversion from returned value of type 'unique_ptr
Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core!
Homebrew does warn that my OS is out of date and unsupported, however, El Capitan is the latest OS that will install on my hardware.
I have tried brew installing an older version of nghttp2, thinking that might compile on El Cap, but no luck.
I'm not sure what to try next.
install before
brew install gcc
brew install --cc=gcc-8 nghttp2
One of the projects that I've been working has a dependency on ruby#2.3.
I'm using a Mac and the version of Ruby that I used for other projects is the 2.5.
I want to temporarily switch from 2.5 to 2.3 using brew. I don't want to use neither rbenv nor rvm.
1. I've installed the 2.3.7 version, using brew:
bf-old> brew install ruby#2.3
Warning: ruby#2.3 2.3.7 is already installed and up-to-date
To reinstall 2.3.7, run `brew reinstall ruby#2.3
2. I'm trying to switch to it, but it's not working:
bf-old> brew switch 2.3.7
Error: 2.3.7 not found in the Cellar.
What can I do about this?
Check if both the ruby versions are installed.
If both are installed, then try this:
brew unlink ruby#2.5 && brew link --force --overwrite ruby#2.3
I tried to install mongodb development version with this command as per the documentation:
brew install mongodb --devel
But it fails with this message:
Error: No devel block is defined for mongodb
brew install mongodb works normally. I am using OSX El Capitan 10.11.2.
That didn't work because mongodb is no longer on --devel branch.
This works:
brew install -v --fresh mongodb
