Welcome to TeX.se! Homebrew really just uses the MacTeX installer, so there's no real advantage of using it over the regular MacTeX or BasicTeX installers as suggested in the main answer.

I could be wrong but I couldn't find the "mactex-no-gui" install on the mactex page. I just wanted the kitchen sink without the faucet. You could start with basictex and piece by piece build your way up to that but I am just lazy enough to not want to do that. Also thanks for the Welcome!

In the MacTeX installer you can choose customize to choose not to install the GUI apps. But they are 79 MB so in terms of space they add nothing. The bulk of the size of TL is in the documentation.
