gh-extension: Remove an extension.
$ gh extension remove ${extension_name}
try on your machine

The command "gh extension remove ${extension_name}" is a command-line command that is specific to the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface).

Here's an explanation of the different components of the command:

  • "gh" refers to the GitHub CLI executable. It is a command-line tool that provides convenient access to GitHub features and functionality.

  • "extension" is a subcommand in the GitHub CLI that deals with the management of GitHub extensions. Extensions are additional functionalities integrated into the GitHub CLI by third-party developers.

  • "remove" is a subcommand under the "extension" subcommand. It is used to remove or uninstall a GitHub extension that is currently installed.

  • "${extension_name}" is a placeholder that represents the actual name of the extension you want to remove. You need to replace "${extension_name}" with the actual name of the GitHub extension you want to uninstall.

When you run this command and replace "${extension_name}" with the actual extension name, the GitHub CLI will remove that specific extension from your system, effectively uninstalling it.
