feat(cli): deno remove --global as alias for deno uninstall --global#35327
Merged
Conversation
…l --global` `deno remove --global <name>` now removes a globally installed executable script, behaving exactly like `deno uninstall --global <name>`. The flag is parsed in `remove_parse` and routed to the same `Uninstall` subcommand the uninstaller uses, so the two share one code path. `--root` is supported (and requires `--global`), and a global removal targets a single executable, so passing multiple names with `--global` is rejected, matching `uninstall`. Adds flag-parse unit tests and a hermetic spec test that installs a local script globally and removes it via `deno remove --global`.

deno uninstall --global <name>removes a globally installed executablescript, but
deno removehad no global counterpart, so users who reachedfor
deno remove --global <name>(the natural symmetric spelling) got anunknown-argument error and had to remember the separate
uninstallverb.This adds
--global(and-g) todeno removeas an alias fordeno uninstall --global, removing the globally installed executable.The flag is handled in
remove_parseand routed to the sameUninstallsubcommand the uninstaller already uses, so both commands share one code
path rather than duplicating logic.
--rootis supported and requires--global, matchinguninstall, and--lockfile-only/--package-jsonconflict with
--globalsince they are meaningless for a global removal.A global removal targets a single executable, so passing multiple names
together with
--globalis rejected, mirroring howuninstall --globalrejects extra packages.
