Description
following errors print at beginning of every shell in my new arch linux setup
``` bash
which: no brew in (/home/tejas/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)
grep: warning: GREP_OPTIONS is deprecated; please use an alias or script
grep: warning: GREP_OPTIONS is deprecated; please use an alias or script
```
the brew one is obvious, the other two i'm not sure how to fix. as per the brew one, i think it'd be a good idea to add a check if we're on OS X in the script before looking for brew.
thoughts on this and how to fix other 2 errors?

Research direction
Start by locating the shell startup scripts that invoke brew and produce the GREP_OPTIONS warnings, then reproduce the messages in the reported Arch Linux setup. Done means opening a new shell no longer prints these errors on Linux while the macOS behavior remains appropriate.
