Uninstalling after installing from source

These instructions will guide you in removing GCM after running the install from source script on your Linux distribution.

🚨 PROCEED WITH CAUTION 🚨

For completeness, we provide uninstall instructions for the GCM application, the GCM repo, and the maximum number of dependencies* for all distributions. This repo and these dependencies may or may not have already been present on your system when you ran the install from source script, and uninstalling them could impact other programs and/or your normal workflows. Please keep this in mind when following the instructions below.

*Certain distributions require some dependencies of the script to function as expected, so we only include instructions to remove the non-required dependencies.

All distributions

Note: If you ran the install from source script from a pre-existing clone of the git-credential-manager repo or outside of your $HOME directory, you will need to modify the final two commands below to point to the location of your pre-existing clone or the directory from which you ran the install from source script.

git-credential-manager unconfigure &&
sudo rm $(command -v git-credential-manager) &&
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/gcm-core &&
sudo rm -rf ~/git-credential-manager &&
sudo rm ~/install-from-source.sh

Debian/Ubuntu

Note: If you had a pre-existing installation of dotnet that was not installed via apt or apt-get when you ran the install from source script, you will need to remove it using these instructions and remove dotnet-* from the below command.

Linux Mint

Note: If you had a pre-existing installation of dotnet when you ran the install from source script that was not located at ~/.dotnet, you will need to modify the first command below to point to the custom install location.
