I'm a new developer, learning to set up environments both local and cloud-based. For local, I already have installed Node and Git and they are working. And I use Visual Studio Code for editing files, for terminal, also for managing Git repo.
I've heard good things about Homebrew and I'd like to try it, but on its installation instructions, it lists the following among its MacOS requirements: "Command Line Tools (CLT) for Xcode: xcode-select --install, developer.apple.com/downloads or Xcode 3"
Does this mean I would be required to use Xcode every time I interact with Homebrew? Nothing against Xcode but I'd be surprised if Homebrew can't be used just as easily with some other IDE like VSCode or Sublime text, etc. Thanks.
