NAME

kas-purge - kas purge command

SYNOPSIS

kas purge [-h] [--dry-run] [--isar-privileged | --isar-rootless]


          [--preserve-repo-refs]


          [config]


DESCRIPTION

Purge all data managed by kas, including managed repos.

Clears the contents of the build directory, sstate-cache, downloads and the repos managed by kas (including referenced repos in KAS_REPO_REF_DIR, if set). In KAS_WORK_DIR it will remove the default configuration file and the KAS_BUILD_DIR (if present). To preserve the reference repositories, run with --preserve-repo-refs. This command requires a configuration file to locate the managed repos.

Note:

Before purging, kas needs to checkout and resolve all repos to locate the repos managed by kas.
