Here I put the final solution. I tried many methods on my mac M1, the best method is re-install homebrew.
Step1:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"
Step2: Install homebrew
cd /opt
mkdir homebrew # if not exist, just create one.
curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
Then, the problem solved.

r/oscp on Reddit: New kali zsh is killing me...
September 12, 2020 -
Folks I need your help.... in doing my revisions for OSCP exam #2 I thought it would be a good idea to update everything and that included the shell (new stuff must be good right...?)
I really want to love zsh but I can’t. I hate it. I hate it so badly. It suggest which directory I want to go to but tab completion doesn’t complete the command; it suggest that I want to run nmap with specific switches but again hitting tab doesn’t complete the command.
It. Is. So. Damn. Aggravating!!!
Given the whole ethos of “try harder” I’ve googled, I’ve edited conf files, I’ve restarted shells and now I’m just giving up. Bash for ever!!
...
Anyway, sorry for the rant, does anyone know how to actually configure zsh to stop it displaying suggestions for auto completion?

Think.you can change shell back to bash e.g chsh -s /bin/bash Refer to blog post for more info https://www.kali.org/news/kali-2020-3-release/

Tab completion is still tab completion, if it suggests something, I can auto select that with my right arrow. As for stopping suggestion, that’s probably within the config file

Why is this sitting on your desktop? Did you download this properly from the App Store?

Umm… did you press the “?” To see why? Zsh killed is typically something to do with endpoint security. This looks like it was blocked by XProtect… seeing uTorrent and the fact you have no idea what you are doing in a terminal I’m guessing wherever you got this from told you to go to the terminal… this is looking like it’s got malware in it. Check console.app before moving on to see what malware Xprotect thought this was

Which probably means PATH is incorrect, or that something in the zsh login script files is off.

Not very descriptive there bud. What have you tried? Can you get into bash/some other shell? Can you run anything in the terminal?

Don't run the command u/Alejandro3077 told you to run, it will delete zsh from your system and also remove the user configuration file. Do not run this: sudo apt remove zsh sudo rm -rf ~/.zshrc I did a quick search and it looks like the default user configuration file for zsh is in /etc/skel. Try running this command: rm ~/.zshrc cp -f /etc/skel/.zshrc ~/.zshrc That should revert the configuration file to the default Kali Linux zsh configuration. I hope this solves the problem, but on the off chance it does not feel free to comment below and I will see if I can help further. But as I am not familiar with Kali Linux nor am I overly familiar with zsh I can't promise that I will be able to help further, but I will try.
