BK-STRIPDEL(1)

okay bestie, welcome to bk stripdel from the BitKeeper User’s Manual — section none, and the header is giving vintage terminal realness. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

bk stripdel — strip deltas out of an s.file.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bk stripdel [−bCcdq] [−rrev] filename

yes, −b is bundled up in there with the rest of the flags — no cap.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bk stripdel is the command used to “strip” deltas from a revision history. and bestie, the deltas, once stripped, are not recoverable — like, gone gone. 😭

This command is typically called by bk clone or bk undo, and perhaps by bk import. You can also call it directly if you wish to remove certain deltas from a file. main utility energy, honestly. 🫶

Heads up: bk stripdel will fail if the specified revisions are included in a changeset and the −C option is not present.

🚨 WARNING 🚨

It is an extremely bad idea to use the −C option — it can corrupt your repository. Instead, consider the −x option of bk get. do not play with this one, fr fr. 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• −C — Do not respect cset boundaries, used by bk undo.
• −c — Checks if the specified rev[s] can be stripped but do not strip them.
• −d — Strip deltas which are part of a MONOTONIC file.
• −q — Run quietly.
• −rrev — Set of revisions to be removed.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
