choco-apikey: Remove an API key for a source.
$ choco apikey --source "${source_url}" --remove
try on your machine

The command "choco apikey --source "${source_url}" --remove" is used in the context of Chocolatey package manager to manage the API key that is used for authentication when interacting with a package source.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "choco" is the command-line executable for Chocolatey.
  • "apikey" is a subcommand that deals with managing API keys.
  • "--source" is an option/parameter used to specify the package source URL.
  • "${source_url}" is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual URL of the package source. The curly braces syntax is often used to reference variables in a command.
  • "--remove" is another option/parameter which indicates that the specified API key for the given package source should be removed.

In summary, this command is used to remove the API key associated with a specific package source in Chocolatey. The source URL needs to be provided, and the command will remove the corresponding API key if it exists.
