## Description of the feature request

Related to step: **steps-brew-install** ([No update · Issue #9 · bitrise-steplib/steps-brew-install · GitHub](https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-brew-install/issues/9) )

It would be nice to have a built in way to suppress brew from updating itself, which is controlled with the `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` env. This would speed up the step considerably.

## Use case / for what or how I would use it

Any workflow with a brew install step.
