I installed ImageMagick via Homebrew.
However, due to a bug I have with my current configuration, I need to adjust the compile flags for the formula and reinstall it.
How can I accomplish this?

Packages are installed according to their formulae, which live in /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula .
Homebrew Formulae is an online package browser for Homebrew – the macOS (and Linux) package manager. For more information on how to install and use Homebrew see our homepage.
If you want to take your tidy-up routine to the next level, you can also run brew cleanup . This command removes downloads for outdated formulas and casks. ~ brew help cleanup Remove stale lock files and outdated downloads for all formulae and casks, and remove old versions of installed formulae.
$ brew rm imagemagick $ brew edit imagemagick This will bring it up in an editor; make sure your $EDITOR variable is set to your preference (for me: TextMate)
Because most installs use pouring/bottles to install a precompiled binary, you will likely see no change unless you "build from source":
$ brew reinstall --build-from-source [...] You can use --formula /path/to/imagemagick.rb as an additional argument to the above command to ensure brew is installing the formula that was edited.
If you're comfortable with git, you may also want to make a branch first, and do your edits in a branch to guard against data loss.
