💅 glab-packages-delete — ok bestie, we're deleting packages

Heyyy so this is the manual page for glab-packages-delete, a little slice of the glab CLI family 🎀 (that's the GitLab command-line tool, iykyk). Specifically? It deletes a package from a project's package registry. Yep. Gone. Poof. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

glab packages delete [ | --id  | --name ] [flags]

That's the whole vibe — you point at a package, it stops existing. 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea ☕: you can identify the package you wanna yeet in one of two ways.

1. By its numeric ID — either as a positional argument or with --id. Both work, pick your fighter 💅
2. By --name and --version. And heads up, bestie: when you use --name, --package-type defaults to generic (no cap, that's just how it is).

The command asks for confirmation before deleting — like a little "u sure?? 😭" moment. But if you're scripting and you don't have time for that, use -y to skip the prompt. Iconic for automation, just sayin'.

By default, the package is removed from the current project. Wanna target a different project? Use --repo. Easy. ✨

🚨 Fr fr — this deletes stuff. There's no undo button mentioned here. Read your flags carefully before you hit enter, bestie.

---

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• --id=0 — the ID of the package you want to remove. A number. That's it. 💫
• --name="" — the name of the package to remove.
• --package-type="generic" — the type of the package to remove, used together with --name. Gotta be one of these, exactly: cargo, composer, conan, debian, generic, golang, helm, maven, ml_model, npm, nuget, pypi, rpm, rubygems, terraform_module.
• --version="" — the version of the package. Slay, specificity. 🎀
• -y, --yes[=false] — skip the confirmation prompt. The "yes queen, do it" flag 👑

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

Lowkey these aren't even this command's own options, they're inherited, but they still show up to the party:

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. When in doubt, ask for help. Always. 🙈
• -R, --repo="" — select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted. So many doors, all valid 🚪✨

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

Because reading examples > reading words, honestly:

# Delete a package by ID
glab packages delete 1
glab packages delete --id 1

# Delete a generic package by name and version
glab packages delete --name example-generic --version 1.0.0

# Delete a package by name, version and type
glab packages delete --name example-maven --version 1.0.0 --package-type maven

# Skip the confirmation prompt
glab packages delete 1 -y
glab packages delete --name example-generic --version 1.0.0 --yes

See how the last block just goes for it with no prompt? That's the -y / --yes main character energy right there 🔥
