dpm restore

Remove all DPM-managed tools and reset to a clean state. Use this to wipe a setup and start fresh.

Restore removes all tools DPM has installed. This cannot be undone. Re-applying your profiles or reinstalling tools individually is the only way to get them back.

CLI usage

        dpm restore [--yes]
        # short alias
        dpm -o [--yes]
      

Flags

--yes, -y skips the confirmation prompt.

        ✓  restored, all tools removed
