💖 YB-REMOVE(1) 💖

okay so real talk bestie, this is the remove page from the yb User Commands fam — yes it's also chillin' under the alias rm — and it's giving "one job but it's a big one" energy. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

remove — remove a blob (alias: rm) 🗑️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

remove [-f|--ignore-missing] [-h|--help] <PATTERNS>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you've got blobs on your YubiKey and some of them simply gotta go. this command deletes one or more of them. 💅

it takes blob names and glob patterns (yes queen, wildcards), and every blob that matches gets removed in a single write pass. one pass. efficient. we love to see it. ⚡

⚠️ bestie, HUGE warning: this operation is destructive and it cannot be undone without the original plaintext. like, it's gone gone. no undo button, no take-backs, no "wait I didn't mean that". 😭 protect your plaintext backup like it's your most prized possession fr fr.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -f, --ignore-missing — silently skip patterns that match nothing. and the best part? it exits 0 even if literally nothing was removed. so chill. so unbothered. 💤
• -h, --help — print help 🫶
• <PATTERNS> — the blob name(s) or glob patterns you wanna remove. this is the main character of the command ngl. 👑

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

remove a single blob, simple and clean:

yb remove secret.key

remove every blob whose name ends in .bak (spring cleaning era 🧹):

yb remove '*.bak'

remove if present, silently do nothing if absent — the "no drama, no error" special:

yb remove --ignore-missing maybe.key
