Uninstall

Up to four things were put on your machine: a sync connection if you made one, a line in your shell profile, the binary, and your library. Each is removed on its own.

1. Sync, if you set it up

This leaves the repository and your library alone:

lore sync disconnect

2. The shell integration

lore uninstall

This removes exactly the lines between the # >>> lore >>> and # <<< lore <<< markers from your profile and leaves everything else alone. The profile is backed up first, beside the original with .lore-backup added to its name, such as .zshrc.lore-backup. Delete the backup once you are happy.

If you set up more than one shell, run it once per shell with --shell bash, --shell zsh, --shell fish or --shell powershell. Do this before removing the binary, since it is the binary that knows where the profile is.

3. The binary

Depending on how you installed it:

Installed withRemove with
Homebrewbrew uninstall lore, then optionally brew untap alpcakin/tap
Scoopscoop uninstall lore, then optionally scoop bucket rm alpcakin
Cargocargo uninstall cmdlore
Shell installer, macOS and Linuxrm ~/.local/bin/lore
Shell installer, WindowsRemove-Item -Recurse $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\lore, then take that folder out of your user PATH in Settings if you want it gone too
Prebuilt archiveDelete lore from wherever you put it

Removing the tap or the bucket only makes Homebrew or Scoop forget where lore came from. Leave it if you might install again.

4. Your library and statistics

Only if you want them gone. They are the files listed under Your library. commands.yaml is the library you built; keep it if you might come back.
