BK-RM(1)

BK-RM(1) 💅

okay so bestie, this is the bk rm(none) page from the BitKeeper User’s Manual — the remove-BitKeeper-files page, and yes it’s iconic in a “please don’t delete the wrong thing” way 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

bk rm — remove BitKeeper file[s] ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bk rm [−f] file [file ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

To delete a file, do this:

$ bk rm foo.c

Removing the file actually moves it to the BitKeeper/deleted/ directory. All future operations will ignore the file unless you name it explicitly, but it will still exist in the repository and will still be propagated by bk pull and/or bk push. Edited files may not be deleted, you must check them in first 😭

If you wish to obliterate all traces of a file, use the bk gone facility.

To resurrect the file, use bk unrm.

bk unrm foo.c

🎀 NOTES 🎀

• bk rm will not remove directories, use bk rmdir for that.
• bk rm will refuse to remove BitKeeper metafiles without the −f option (the use of which is not recommended except in the case of triggers). This is the dramatic “use −f carefully” warning, bestie.
