💅 REPO(1) — the repo manual, abandon edition 🎀

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about repo abandon — it's giving main character energy in the Repo Manual, no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

repo abandon — literally the manual page for repo abandon, and yes it's exactly as dramatic as it sounds 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

repo abandon [--all | <branchname>] [<project>...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Summary (as the manpage so modestly puts it 😌)

Permanently abandon a development branch

so like, this subcommand permanently abandons a development branch by deleting it (and all its history) from your local repository. 💀

it is equivalent to git branch -D <branchname>.

⚠️ bestie I need you to hear me on this one: permanently. the history is gone-gone. it's not "hiding in a stash somewhere," it's not "we can get it back," it's deleted from your local repo. the way that <branchname> just stops existing… 😭 gone. periodt. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit. your little "wait what does this do again" button 🎀
  • -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS — number of jobs to run in parallel (default: based on number of CPU cores). let it multi-task, she's a busy girl 💅
  • --all — delete all branches in all projects. yes. all of them. in all of them. highkey unhinged but okay 🔥

🍓 Logging options 🍓

  • -v, --verbose — show all output. she's a talker, she tells you everything 🌸
  • -q, --quiet — only show errors. silent treatment mode, but make it productive 🙈

🧚 Multi-manifest options 🧚

  • --outer-manifest — operate starting at the outermost manifest
  • --no-outer-manifest — do not operate on outer manifests
  • --this-manifest-only — only operate on this (sub)manifest
  • --no-this-manifest-only, --all-manifests — operate on this manifest and its submanifests

🌈 SEE ALSO-ISH 🌈

Run repo help abandon to view the detailed manual. 👑

and that's the whole page bestie, you ate, go forth and delete branches responsibly 💜
