Pin a formula to its current version
$ brew pin ${formula_name}
try on your machine
The command "brew pin" is used in Homebrew, a package manager for macOS, to pin a specific formula.
The "brew pin" command is followed by the name of the formula (software package) that you want to pin. When a formula is pinned, it means that it will not be updated or upgraded by Homebrew. This is useful when you want to hold on to a specific version of a package and prevent it from being automatically updated to a newer version.
For example, if you have a formula called "package1" and you want to pin it, you would use the command "brew pin package1". Once pinned, Homebrew will no longer update "package1" whenever you run the "brew upgrade" command.
