Buf(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the Buf(1) manual page, and specifically it's all about buf-plugin-prune — the little icon that prunes unused plugins from buf.lock ✨ like it literally goes thru your lockfile and cleans house, no cap 🧹🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

buf plugin prune  [flags]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two spaces before the flags, we don't question it, we just respect it 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so bestie, here's the tea 🍓 — any plugins that are no longer configured in buf.yaml get removed from the buf.lock file. gone. deleted. not invited to the group chat anymore 💀

the first argument is the directory of your buf.yaml configuration file. and if you don't pass one? it just defaults to "." — lowkey humble of it, honestly 👑

fr fr this is the "clean up your room before your mom sees it" of plugin management 🧚✨

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help[=false] — the help for prune, obviously 💁‍♀️ it defaults to false, so it won't just spam you with help unless you ask for it, iconic behavior

---

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the ones it got from its parent, main character energy runs in the family 🌈

• --debug[=false] — turns on debug logging (env BUF_DEBUG). defaults to false bc we're not all chaos all the time 🙈
• --log-format="color" — the log format. your options are text, color, or json ⟨env BUF_LOG_FORMAT⟩. default is "color" bc we are aesthetic 🔥
• --timeout=0s — the duration until timing out. setting it to 0 means no timeout at all, so it'll just wait forever like a loyal bestie 🫶 (env BUF_TIMEOUT)
