# Interesting Taps and Forks
|
|
|
|
A [tap](Taps.md) is Homebrew-speak for a Git repository containing additional formulae.
|
|
|
|
Homebrew has the capability to add (and remove) multiple taps to your local installation with the `brew tap` and `brew untap` commands; run `man brew` in your terminal for usage information.
|
|
|
|
Your taps are Git repositories located at `$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps`. As a normal user, you usually won't see `homebrew/core` here anymore and that's OK - [normal usage is via the JSON API](https://brew.sh/2023/02/16/homebrew-4.0.0/).
