brew-cask: Uninstall a cask.
$ brew uninstall --cask ${cask_name}
try on your machine

The command "brew uninstall --cask ${cask_name}" is used to uninstall a specific application from a macOS system using the Homebrew package manager. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "brew uninstall": This is the Homebrew command to uninstall a package or application.
  • "--cask": This flag is used to specify that the package being uninstalled is a cask (an application distributed as a macOS binary).
  • "${cask_name}": This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the cask you want to uninstall. For example, if you want to uninstall Google Chrome, you would replace ${cask_name} with "google-chrome".

Overall, this command is used to remove a specific cask application installed on a macOS system using Homebrew.
