🌸 REPO 💅

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for repo wipe — the Repo Manual, June 2026 edition. yes it's a whole command. yes it's dramatic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

repo wipe <project>...

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand it some projects and it hands them back to the void 💀

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Summary (as the repo gods wrote it):

Wipe projects from the worktree. periodt. 🧹✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h, --help — shows you this help message and then dips, i.e. exits. iconic behaviour honestly 👑
  • -f, --force — forces the wipe on shared projects and on uncommitted changes. the nuclear button, fr fr 🔥
  • --force-uncommitted — forces the wipe even if there are uncommitted changes. those changes? gone. no cap 😭
  • --force-shared — forces the wipe even if the project shares an object directory. yes, even then. bold move 💅

🦋 Logging options

  • -v, --verbose — show all the output. every last crumb of it 🔍
  • -q, --quiet — only show errors. silent, mysterious, lowkey main character energy 🌙

🌈 Multi-manifest options

  • --outer-manifest — operate starting at the outermost manifest. go big, start from the outside 🫧
  • --no-outer-manifest — do not operate on outer manifests. hands off the outer layer 🙅‍♀️
  • --this-manifest-only — only operate on this (sub)manifest. keep it local, keep it cute 🎀
  • --no-this-manifest-only, --all-manifests — operate on this manifest and its submanifests. the whole family gets involved 🧚
Run repo help wipe to view the detailed manual. (iykyk 📖)

🔥 DETAILS 🔥

so here's the tea. the repo wipe command removes the specified projects from the worktree (that's the checked out source code, bestie) and deletes the project's git data from .repo.

⚠️ this is a destructive operation and it cannot be undone. like, at all. no undo button, no take-backs, no "wait actually—" 😭 please be so serious when you run this one.

projects can be specified either by name, or by a relative or absolute path to the project's local directory. whatever's easiest for you, queen 💅

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

Wipe the project platform/build by name:

$ repo wipe platform/build

Wipe the project at the path build/make :

$ repo wipe build/make

and that's the whole page, babe 💜 go forth and wipe responsibly — or don't, but at least know what you're doing.
