bdep-deinit(1)

💖 bdep-deinit(1) — the manual page, but make it slay 💖

okay bestie, welcome to bdep-deinit from the bdep fam. this is the General Commands Manual, and yes we're doing the whole thing, no skips, no shortcuts. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

bdep-deinit — deinitialize project in build configurations 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bdep deinit [options] [pkg-spec] [cfg-spec]

cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
pkg-spec = (--directory|-d pkg-dir)... | prj-spec
prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the deinit command deinitializes the project packages you point at (pkg-spec), or — plot twist — if you point at the project itself (prj-spec), then it deinitializes all of its previously initialized packages, across one or more build configurations (cfg-spec). iconic behaviour honestly. 💅

if you don't name a project directory, the current working directory is assumed. and if you don't name a configuration, the default configurations are assumed. for the full tea on how to specify projects and configurations, go read bdep-projects-configs(1). 🫖

---

🌸 DEINIT OPTIONS 🌸

• --force — deinitialize packages without even attempting to remove them from the build configuration. this mode is mainly your girl when the configuration directory has been deleted or is otherwise unusable. like, we're not even gonna try. 💀
• --no-fetch — don't re-fetch the repository information before attempting to replace the packages being deinitialized with versions from repositories.
• --all, -a — use all build configurations. all of them. periodt. 👑
• --config, -c dir — specify the build configuration as a directory.
• --directory, -d dir — assume the project/package lives in the specified directory instead of the current working directory.
• --config-name, -n name — specify the build configuration as a name.
• --config-id num — specify the build configuration as an id.

---

⭐ COMMON OPTIONS ⭐

these are the common options, summarized below — the more detailed description lives in bdep-common-options(1), so go peep that if you want the deep lore.

• -v — print essential underlying commands being executed.
• -V — print all underlying commands being executed.
• --quiet, -q — run quietly, only printing error messages. shhh. 🤫
• --verbose level — set the diagnostics verbosity to level between 0 and 6.
• --stdout-format format — representation format to use for printing to stdout.
• --jobs, -j num — number of jobs to perform in parallel.
• --progress — display progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc.
• --no-progress — suppress progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc.
• --diag-color — use color in diagnostics.
• --no-diag-color — don't use color in diagnostics.
• --bpkg path — the package manager program to be used for build configuration management.
• --bpkg-option opt — additional option to be passed to the package manager program.
• --build path — the build program to be used to build packages.
• --build-option opt — additional option to be passed to the build program.
• --curl path — the curl program to be used for network operations.
• --curl-option opt — additional option to be passed to the curl program.
• --pager path — the pager program to be used to show long text.
• --pager-option opt — additional option to be passed to the pager program.
• --options-file file — read additional options from file.
• --default-options dir — the directory to load additional default options files from.
• --no-default-options — don't load default options files.

🦋 DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES 🦋

want the overview of the default options files? it's all in bdep-default-options-files(1), bestie.

for the deinit command specifically, the search start directory is the project directory. the following options files get searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:

bdep.options
bdep-deinit.options

and here's the catch — the following deinit command options cannot be specified in the default options files:

--directory|-d

no sneaking -d into your options files, bestie. that's a hard no. 🙈
