💅 dasht-docsets-remove — bestie's guide to yeeting Dash docsets

okay so real talk: this is dasht-docsets-remove, a General Commands Manual page (section 1, iykyk) for the dasht-docsets-remove command, and it does exactly what it says on the tin — it removes installed Dash <https://kapeli.com/dash> docsets. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🗑️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dasht-docsets-remove — removes installed Dash <https://kapeli.com/dash> docsets. literally its whole personality. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dasht-docsets-remove [OPTION...] [NAME...]

✨ Examples ✨

  • dasht-docsets-remove — with zero args, it removes all installed Dash <https://kapeli.com/dash> docsets. all of them. every single one. bestie please be sure. 😭
  • dasht-docsets-remove sh — removes installed Dash <https://kapeli.com/dash> docsets whose names contain "sh". cute and targeted. 🎯
  • dasht-docsets-remove sh 'c$' — removes installed Dash <https://kapeli.com/dash> docsets whose names contain "sh" or end in "c". two patterns, one slay. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what's the tea? This command removes installed Dash <https://kapeli.com/dash> docsets whose names match the NAME regex(7) patterns. yes, actual regex — regex(7) is the manual page it's referencing, don't come for me. 🔥

If you give no NAMEs at all, then literally all installed docsets are matched. all of them. the whole collection. 🙈

And unless you force it, this operation prompts you to confirm it for every single match. so it's not just gonna go off without asking — it does the polite little "are you sure" for each one. main character energy with manners. 👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -f, --force — forces the operation by overriding the interactive confirmation prompt. no questions, no "are you sure", it just goes. use responsibly bestie, this is the scary button. 💀🔥

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • DASHT_DOCSETS_DIR — defines the filesystem location where your Dash <https://kapeli.com/dash> docsets are installed. if it's undefined, its value is assumed to be $XDG_DATA_HOME/dasht/docsets/ or, if XDG_DATA_HOME is undefined, $HOME/.local/share/dasht/docsets/. so like… it has a whole fallback chain, it's got you either way. 🧚

⚠️ gentle reminder: with no NAME patterns this nukes all your installed docsets, and -f/--force skips the confirmation prompt entirely. read twice, delete once. 😭🫶
