Disable the beer emoji in Homebrew

I’m like almost every other programmer who uses macOS: I love the Homebrew package manager. It’s a delight to use.

There was a very minor annoyance that I had with Homebrew: it displays a beer emoji in a few places. This wasn’t a big bother, but I found out that you can disable it! Add the following to your bashrc (or to your zshrc, as the case may be):

export HOMEBREW_NO_EMOJI=1

This environment variable will, as you might expect, disable emoji in Homebrew! Nice to know that I can fix a miniscule annoyance.
