以下是我如何降级KOPS（不支持版本控制）

# brew has a git repo on your localhost
cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core

git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core (push)

# find the version of kops.rb you need
git log Formula/kops.rb

# checkout old commit
# kops: update 1.18.1 bottle.
git checkout 2f0ede7f27dfc074d5b5493894f3468f27cc73f0 -- Formula/kops.rb

brew unlink kops
brew install kops

# now we have old version installed
ls -1 /usr/local/Cellar/kops/
1.18.1
1.18.2

which kops
/usr/local/bin/kops
ls -l /usr/local/bin/kops
/usr/local/bin/kops -> ../Cellar/kops/1.18.1/bin/kops
kops version
Version 1.18.1

# revert to the newest version
brew uninstall kops
git checkout -f
brew link kops
kops version
Version 1.18.2

这里的其他答案很好，但如果您需要安装较旧版本的软件包并确保修改了软件包名称，则需要另一种方法。当使用脚本（在我的例子中是PHP构建脚本）时，这一点非常重要，这些脚本使用brew前缀package_name来确定要用于编译的目录。

如果您正在使用brew提取，则会在包名称的末尾添加一个版本，这将中断brew前缀查找。

以下是如何在保持原始软件包名称的同时安装较旧的软件包版本：

# uninstall the newer version of the package that you accidentally installed
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies icu4c

# `extract` the version you'd like to install into a custom tap
brew tap-new $USER/local-tap
brew extract --version=68.2 icu4c $USER/local-tap

# jump into the new tap you created
cd $(brew --repository $USER/local-tap)/Formula

# rename the formula
mv icu4c@68.2.rb icu4c.rb

# change the name of the formula by removing "AT682" from the `class` definition
# the exact text you'll need to remove will be different
# depending on the version you extracted
nano icu4c.rb

# then, install this specific formula directly
brew install $(brew --repository $USER/local-tap)/Formula/icu4c.rb

我在这里写了更多。

解决方案

brew extract --version=8.4p1  openssh homebrew/cask
brew install openssh@8.4p1

最新的openssl@8.5p1在我运行brew升级后出现错误，因此我通过上述方式成功地备份到了以前的版本。

brew版本和brew安装https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/现在不支持<COMMIT-HASH>/Formula/<Formula>.rb。

您可以这样尝试：

$ brew extract --version 5.6.2 gradle vitahlin/core
$ brew install gradle@5.6.2

意外升级Postgres？

我的案例：

postgresql意外地从11升级到12（在运行brew升级后没有参数）我想让Postgres保持11岁。

解决方案：

停止数据库：

brew services stop postgresql

安装Postgres 11：

brew install postgresql@11

启用它：

brew link postgresql@11 --force

（可选）将数据库数据目录从postgres重命名为postgres@11:

cd /usr/local/var
ls -lh
mv postgresql@11 postgresql@11-fresh-backup
mv postgres postgresql@11

启动数据库：

brew services start postgresql@11

如果有任何错误，请检查/usr/local/var/log/postgresql@11.log（注意@11）。

按照@halfcube的建议，这非常有效：
