This method is found in Homebrew/brew#18371 (comment)

It also mentions that:

Yea, installing formulae from paths is buggy and shouldn't be used. We should probably remove the ability to do that at some point.

So creating a tap is the recommended way to install formula.

PS: Setting HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER=1 is a another workaround but the owner says it changes a lot of the behaviour of Homebrew: Homebrew/brew#20414 (comment).

Homebrew keeps changing. We may want to release a ZIP or tar.gz package as soon as possible.

tap-new requires Git user information; otherwise, the following error occurs:

linuxbrew@5ef95ab56d08:~$ brew tap-new dev/azure-cli
Warning: tap-new is a developer command, so Homebrew's
developer mode has been automatically turned on.
To turn developer mode off, run:
  brew developer off

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew/Library/Taps/dev/homebrew-azure-cli/.git/
Author identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'linuxbrew@5ef95ab56d08.(none)')

PS: Although brew tap-new enables developer mode, it's not equal to HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER=1. Formula can't be installed directly from a path, even if developer mode is on.

Using placeholder values for git configuration in CI/CD pipelines is not ideal. Consider using environment variables or more descriptive values like 'ci@azure-cli.local' and 'Azure CLI CI' to better reflect the automated nature of these commits.

Suggested change
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "ci@azure-cli.local"
git config --global user.name "Azure CLI CI"

--build-from-source is required. Otherwise, brew tries to install azure-cli from core repo.
