Homebrew overview
Homebrew is a command line utility designed to streamline the installation of various libraries and utilities that you might need to run certain applications, but have not been included in your macOS installation by default.
The both application provides you with access to a large collection of packages which you can browse using the command line, or by making use of online resources such as the Braumeister website.
