Uninstall
Remove Hivemind from your computer, with or without your settings and saved sessions.
Remove the app, and choose whether your settings and saved sessions go too.
Paste this into your coding agent to remove Hivemind from this computer.
Show the prompt
Remove Hivemind from this computer. 1. Ask me whether to keep my settings and saved sessions, or delete them too. 2. Stop the background process that keeps terminals running: `hive daemon stop`. Tell me first: it ends every terminal and agent Hivemind runs. 3. On Linux and macOS run `hivemind uninstall`, adding `--purge` only if I asked to delete my data. On Windows run `hivemind uninstall`, adding `-Purge` only if I asked. 4. On Linux and macOS, also remove what the uninstaller leaves: `rm -rf ~/.hivemind-app` and `rm -f ~/.local/bin/hive ~/.local/bin/hive-net`. 5. Check: `command -v hivemind hive` prints nothing (on Windows, `Get-Command hivemind, hive` finds nothing). Projects keep their `.hivemind/` issue folders; do not delete those unless I ask. At the end, tell me what was removed and what was kept. REFERENCE https://hivemind.griiken.com/guide/uninstall.md
Before you start
Uninstalling ends every terminal and agent Hivemind runs. Finish or save their work first.
Remove the app
Stop the background process
Your terminals and agents keep running in a background process when the app closes. To stop it, run:
hive daemon stopRun the uninstaller
hivemind uninstall # keeps your settings and sessions
hivemind uninstall --purge # deletes them tooRemove the rest (Linux and macOS)
The uninstaller removes the app and the hivemind command. To remove the hive and hive-net commands too, run:
rm -rf ~/.hivemind-app
rm -f ~/.local/bin/hive ~/.local/bin/hive-netWhat goes, and what stays
