ARDUINO-CLI-CONFIG-DELETE(1)

💖 arduino-cli-config-delete — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Arduino Command Line Manual (yes that's the manual name, section 1, we're fancy here). This little page is all about arduino-cli-config-delete, and honestly? It's giving demolition day. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

arduino-cli-config-delete — Deletes a settings key and all its sub keys.

like. ALL of them. the key AND its sub keys. no survivors. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

arduino-cli config delete [flags]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Deletes a settings key and all its sub keys.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you point at a key, it's gone, and everything nested under it goes down with it. main character energy, honestly. one little command, so much power. 🔥

ngl bestie, "all its sub keys" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence — deleting a parent key takes the whole family tree with it. be sure before you commit. 💀

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help[=false] — help for delete. the classic. when in doubt, ask for help. 🫶

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

these ones aren't even this command's options, they're hand-me-downs from the parent, and they still eat every single time:

• --additional-urls=[] — Comma-separated list of additional URLs for the Boards Manager. multiple URLs? comma between them. periodt.
• --config-dir="" — Sets the default data directory (Arduino CLI will look for configuration file in this directory).
• --config-file="" — The custom config file (if not specified the default will be used).
• --json[=false] — Print the output in JSON format. for the girlies who pipe things into other things. 🌈
• --log[=false] — Print the logs on the standard output.
• --log-file="" — Path to the file where logs will be written.
• --log-format="text" — The output format for the logs, can be: text, json.
• --log-level="info" — Messages with this level and above will be logged. Valid levels are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic. trace is the yapper, panic is the "we're so back / it's so over" of log levels. 😭
• --no-color[=false] — Disable colored output. some of us need our rainbows though. 🙈

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

copy these exactly, character for character, no edits, iykyk:

debian/build/bin/arduino-cli config delete board_manager
debian/build/bin/arduino-cli config delete board_manager.additional_urls

first one: nuke the board_manager key (and everything under it, bestie, remember). second one: target just board_manager.additional_urls. see the difference? that's the dot notation doing its thing. ✨
