Description of issue

Hi, I'm facing issue when trying to run brew create:

Example usage:
  brew search TEXT|/REGEX/
  brew info [FORMULA|CASK...]
  brew install FORMULA|CASK...
  brew update
  brew upgrade [FORMULA|CASK...]
  brew uninstall FORMULA|CASK...
  brew list [FORMULA|CASK...]

Troubleshooting:
  brew config
  brew doctor
  brew install --verbose --debug FORMULA|CASK

Contributing:
  brew create URL [--no-fetch]
  brew edit [FORMULA|CASK...]

Further help:
  brew commands
  brew help [COMMAND]
  man brew
  https://docs.brew.sh

Error: Invalid usage: Unknown command: brew create

I see the command among brew commands, also brew edit works.
I tried both running brew update-reset and reinstalling brew using /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" with no success.

Other than brew create, my homebrew seems to work semlessly.

Does anyone have an idea what could be missing? Thanks!

Was also facing this issue. brew update-reset resolved it
