remove

Usage

npx @gentleduck/cli remove [components...]

npx @gentleduck/cli remove [components...]

Deletes the component's local source folder(s). It does not touch package.json - npm dependencies the component pulled in are never pruned.

Options

Examples

# Remove specific components
npx @gentleduck/cli remove carousel resizable

# Remove from a workspace
npx @gentleduck/cli remove sidebar --workspace apps/dashboard

# Skip confirmation
npx @gentleduck/cli remove dialog -y

What it actually does

1. Resolves installed components: scans your components directory and matches each subfolder against the registry index.
2. Confirms (unless -y): lists the components and asks before deleting.
3. Deletes each component's folder: a plain recursive removal of localPath - no dependency graph walk, no bun remove / npm uninstall call.

If you want the npm packages a component pulled in gone too, remove them yourself.

What stays

• npm dependencies the component declared (never pruned - see above)
• Your custom edits to other files
• Imports from removed components in your own code: they'll error at compile time, and you fix them
• Theme tokens written by theme add
• duck-ui.config.json

To uninstall the CLI itself: bun remove -D @gentleduck/cli.
