You might be interested in `HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP` and `HOMEBREW_NO_CLEANUP_FORMULAE`. See `man brew` for details.

Yeah, I’m going to put those in my rc file. I’m surprised they aren’t the default options but that’s not a big deal.

`HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP` used to be the default. Many users complained about how much space Homebrew used, and were shocked by how much they saved by doing `brew cleanup`, so now it’s done by default.
