How to uninstall GVM

I use GVM to manage my Groovy/Grails environment.

How do I uninstall GVM and all the candidates currently installed?

I suspect one would simply just delete the ~/.gvm directory. Surprisingly the GVM website doesn't seem to mention how to do this, nor is there documentation to confirm how this is done.

Solution

  • Deleting the ~/.gvm directory and removing the lines:

    #THIS MUST BE AT THE END OF THE FILE FOR GVM TO WORK!!!
[[ -s "~/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh" && ! $(which gvm-init.sh) ]] && source "~/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh"

    From ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.profile), ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc should do it (assuming a default install)
