💖 GOLF(2gg) 💖

okay bestie, this is the Golf manual, section 2gg — and today's episode is all about uninstall (the docs call it "Golf documentation (install-golf)"). yes we're doing the sad part. no we're not crying. maybe a little. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

uninstall — Golf documentation (install-golf)

like. the name is literally just telling you what it is. uninstall. golf. the end. iconic minimalism fr fr.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💅 UNINSTALL GOLF IF INSTALLED FROM SOURCE

so you built it from source like a brave little main character? then run this from the command line. and if you installed it into a folder (instead of the default spot), add "DESTDIR=<folder>" where <folder> is the directory where it was installed. the way that detail matters:

sudo make uninstall

⚠️ note the sudo, bestie. make uninstall is not a "whoops I'll just try again" situation. it's giving commitment. 💀

🎀 UNINSTALL GOLF IF INSTALLED FROM PACKAGE

installed it the easy way? then let your package manager do the breakup speech. pick your flavor:

For Ubuntu:

sudo apt remove golf

For Redhat, Fedora and similar:

sudo dnf remove golf

For OpenSUSE:

sudo zypper remove golf

For Arch and similar:

sudo pacman -R golf

one command and it's gone. the range?? unmatched. 😭

🦋 APPLICATION FILES

okay so listen. /var/lib/gg does not get removed. nope. not by any of this. that's because it generally contains application files.

you may move such files or delete them as you see fit. your call, your files, your vibe check. 🍓

🙈 so if you're like "why is there still a /var/lib/gg folder" — that's why. it's intentional. it's not a ghost. probably.
