Homebrew not detecting latest Xcode and Command Line Tools, and not uninstalling them either I have macOS Mojave version 10.14.5 installed with Xcode version 10.2.1 and Command Line Tools installed using xcode-select --install. All problem started when I tried to install youtube-dl formula on my system by running:

brew install youtube-dl

The output I get is:

Updating Homebrew...
Error: Your Xcode (1) is too outdated.
Please update to Xcode 9.0 (or delete it).
Xcode can be updated from
  https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

Error: Your Command Line Tools are too outdated.
Update them from Software Update in the App Store.


Again, if I run xcode-select --install, I get:

xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates


Running:

xcode-select -v

returns

xcode-select version 2354


(I do not know what this means) and running:

xcode-select -p

yields

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer


Owing to these issues, I tried to uninstall Homebrew (with a plan to reinstall it afresh) by running the command:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"


but it gives the following error:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to raw.githubusercontent.com port 443: Operation timed out


Next, I tried to uninstall Homebrew using the unbrew.rb script available at GitHub but it seems not to remove Homebrew. I tried running it with and without sudo. Even after doing this, running brew config returns:

Is my Homebrew broken by my attempts at uninstalling it? What can I do to repair Homebrew and all these errors in pointing to the right Xcode and command line tools? 

I had tried updating Homebrew by running brew update earlier without success. Running:

brew update


returns:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Operation timed out
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Operation timed out

As is evident from the output of brew config, your installation of Homebrew is pretty outdated. Also, as mentioned in your comment, you have a proxy active in your system. This explains why Homebrew installation is failing to connect unable to the Homebrew software's server counterpart via port 443, which  hosted on GitHub.

Follow the instructions in the following answer to update your installation of Homebrew to current version:

If you run into an error similar to:


  Error: Permission denied


Run:

sudo chown -R `whoami`:admin /usr/local/share


to resolve it.

If you get the following error:


  Warning: Homebrew's sbin was not found in your PATH but you have installed 
  formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin. 
  Consider setting the PATH for example like so: 
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile


Run the command-line mentioned in the last line.

Once you have Homebrew updated, run brew cleanup to remove any broken symlinks.

The current public version of Homebrew is 2.1.6. You can check if your installation of Homebrew is up-to-date by running brew config and matching the value with the HOMEBREW_VERSION: key in the output.
