Homebrew Documentation: Common Issues
Running brew update-reset without a repository resets Homebrew and every tap. Errors such as early EOF, index-pack failed or a failed connection to GitHub usually indicate a network, proxy, mirror or filtering problem. Confirm that GitHub and the download host are reachable from the same shell. Check proxy environment variables, VPN software, firewalls and network-monitoring tools. Run brew config and review any configured Git or bottle mirrors. Retry from a stable network before reporting the problem.

I removed the HomeBrew files by running the following command. After that, I ran the installation as mentioned in the above post. It all worked fine. I was able to install all the packages I need.
# Intel systems
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/homebrew
# M1/M2 system
sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew

I faced the same problem. The solution is just to remove your git configuration from your mac.
Command:
rm -rf ~/.gitconfig
After executing the command try to install brew. Command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
After installing homebrew install the brew git command:
brew install git
then configure your GitHub profile.
