This feels more like an advertisement for Fig than a genuinely interesting issue?
- posted by Fig aficionado.
- in the form of infotainment instead of brew issue ticket.
- points to Fig repo instead of proper issue in brew repository.
Please don't steal or attention on minor thing like this to adv your product.

Lat I looked the template assumed a very narrow scope of issues you could be reporting and demands an exhaustive amount of information.
I agree the instructions are not clear enough, however. “Run the following two commands, which adds the needful to your profile and current shell” or similar would be a better way to put it.
I'll agree and further add that learning about the shell is essential knowledge building, just as touch typing is an essential skill to have, yet it's surprising how far one can get without.
Learned early on both of these will just make your life easier as a SWE.
> your profile and current shell
What is my profile in this case? What is the current shell? What even is a shell?
A better way would be to ask the user if they want this step to be done for them as part of the installation process. As first-time users will often have to install Brew just to get started on the learning curve of terminal usage.
You're right, it's not a great look for any project to post a criticism of another, largely unrelated project. But where else would they post it?
Posting it like this helps it get the exposure it needs. I think posting it to brew's bugtracker would just get it lost.
