💅 podman-artifact-rm — the glow-up removal era ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the podman-artifact-rm(1) page, straight out of the General Commands Manual 💖 this is the one where you yeet OCI artifacts out of local storage, and honestly? It's giving clean-girl closet-cleanout energy 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

podman-artifact-rm — remove one or more OCI artifacts from local storage 🗑️💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

podman artifact rm [options] name

no cap, that's the whole vibe — command, options, name, done 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: this removes one or more artifacts from the local artifact store 🦋 and the input? it can be the fully qualified artifact name, or a full or partial artifact digest. literally either one, she's flexible like that ✨

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

💖 --all, -a

Removes all the artifacts in the local store 🌈 everything must go, spring cleaning icon behaviour. but heads up bestie — using this option conflicts with providing a name or digest of the artifact 😭 it's an either/or situation, pick a lane fr fr

💖 --ignore, -i

Removes artifacts in the local store, ignoring errors when trying to remove artifacts that don't exist 🙈 like, if it's not there, she's not gonna make it a whole thing. no drama, just vibes 💀
