Brew install disconnects from terminal on macOS after some time

[Igilq]

Soo, I got my hands on MacBook and first thing that I installed on it was homebrew... I installed then fish since I used it as main terminal on my Linux installs but something bugged out and brew randomly stops working... it stops working in all shells that I tried: zsh, bash and fish. And thanks to this bug I have to retype commands that are used to add brew commands to terminal... I also didn't know where to post this issue since brew has so many categories

Which commands did you run to add brew to the terminal?

You have to add this command to your shell configuration file so that it is executed on startup (e.g., ~/.config/fish/config.fish for fish).

https://docs.brew.sh/Installation#post-installation-steps has the details, but you copied only half of the commands that are needed to make brew work.
For zsh, I believe it prints this before your line:

echo "eval \"$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)\"" >> ~/.zprofile

and how do I do that?

i typed it in but this command does not work, it does not enable me to use brew after copying and pasting it

Simply open the file using your preferred text editor and paste in the command. You can run open -e ~/.config/fish/config.fish to open the file in TextEdit if that's what you're comfortable with.

hey, I figured out issue, fish didn't had set up correctly home location. I changed it manually to proper one and it works now on both zsh and fish and also on bash. thanks for help folks
