Removing Packages

Basic remove

stamp remove htop

Stamp looks up the package in your manifest and uses the recorded manager.

▪ removing htop via apt...
✓ removed htop via apt

Specify a manager

stamp remove lazygit -m brew

Using aliases

stamp uninstall htop
stamp rm htop
stamp delete htop
stamp del htop

All aliases behave identically.

DNF package groups

Remove a DNF package group with --group / -g:

stamp remove "Development Tools" -m dnf --group

▪ removing group Development Tools via dnf...
✓ removed Development Tools via dnf

Group removal runs dnf group remove -y <name> — it removes the group meta-package but not the individual packages that were installed as part of the group.

What happens

1. Stamp finds the package in the manifest (or uses -m override)
2. Runs the native remove command
3. Removes the package from the manifest
4. Saves the updated manifest

Go tools

stamp remove github.com/golangci/golangci-lint -m go

Go tools require the full module path and -m go. If the module was auto-tracked by stamp reconcile, use the same module path shown in stamp list.

Error handling

If the package is not in the manifest and no -m is provided:

✕ package htop is not tracked in the manifest
  Use --manager / -m to specify a manager, or stamp reconcile to track it first.
