Uninstall Script for curl Installations #596

Describe the bug
There is no clear nor straightforward way to uninstall zplug, if installed via the recommended option, which is curl. Most projects (e.g., Starship) provide accessible instructions to their users on how to uninstall the package from one's machine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install zplug via the project-recommended option (i.e., curl)
  2. Try to find any uninstaller script or md file in the projects' repos
  3. Not found!
  4. Unable to uninstall

Expected behavior
Provide an easy copy+paste command for an uninstall script in the same fashion as the installer repo.

Env (please complete the following information):

  • zplug version: 2.4.2
  • zsh --version: zsh 5.9 (x86_64-apple-darwin23.0)

Additional Comments
Any input is greatly appreciated, as I would like to uninstall this and am wary about reverse engineering the install script.

It seems to me like it might be overkill to write an installer script for what is literally:
rm -rf $ZPLUG_HOME

Or are you imagining that it would do more than that?

I opened the issue because there are similar projects that do indeed provide a simple uninstaller script. Typically, it's readily accessible in the README.md.

In the end, I did end up uninstalling it manually as you mention. In any event, thank you for your comment and for your help!
