Skipping Automatic Updates for Brew Install

When we execute commands like brew install/update/tap ..., Homebrew automatically updates existing formulas by running brew update --auto-update.

However, this process can be time-consuming as we need to wait for all formulas to update.

I recently discovered a way to bypass this auto-update feature by setting an environment variable:

HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install <formula>
