Managing brew 🍻 formula rolling my own OpenSSH and managing local forks

This release primarily dealt with updating homebrew & linuxbrew formula on my two main boxes. If you haven't heard of homebrew-bundle I highly recommend checking it out to keep track of installed formula and casks across various systems.

Also, I ended up rolling my own homebrew formula for OpenSSH here that will compile with LibreSSL as opposed to compiling with OpenSSL. This repo contains a write up I put together about how I got homebrew OpenSSH up and running on my local box 📦.

I also added various notes for working with git which can be found in the within the .wiki submodule repo. Most notable notes added were dealing with other peoples repo's and how to manage upstream branches with local forks.

Various other goodies 🍭 🍬 have been added to this release.

cheers 🥃
