Sudo giving error after installing homebrew and Laravel Valet

Question

I had just installed homebrew and afterwards I installed Laravel Valet.
I am now not able to run any sudo commands at all, and it basically broke my computer.

This is the errors I get when running sudo in terminal

>>> /etc/sudoers.d/brew: Alias `BREW' already defined near line 1 <<<
>>> /etc/sudoers.d/valet: Alias `VALET' already defined near line 1 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers.d/brew near line 1
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

Any help appreciated

This is my sudoer for /etc/sudoers.d/brew:

Cmnd_Alias BREW = /usr/local/bin/brew *
%admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: BREW

And this is my sudoer for /etc/sudoers.d/valet:

Cmnd_Alias VALET = /usr/local/bin/valet *
%admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VALET

The problem seems when trying to disable password requirement for group admin or users brew and valet. Try to change each sudoers.d file to something as :

Cmnd_Alias BREW = /usr/local/bin/brew *
brew ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

or in a general way, as inside admin group

Cmnd_Alias BREW = /usr/local/bin/brew *
%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: BREW

How do I change the sudoers without sudo access? When I run sudo I just get the error – Cyprinid

It didn't work when I changed the sudoers like you wrote. – Cyprinid

Had you rebooted? With that sudoers.d file, brew or any user does not need to put sudo password. Could you put here error message that appears to you? – Justajustemilieu

Yes I rebooted and the exact errors still came. I made some testing and by just deleting the sudoers.d files I was still able to use homebrew and valet without any problems. – Cyprinid
