Uninstalling Atuin

Sorry to see you go!

If you used the Atuin installer, you can totally delete it by following these steps:

  1. Delete the ~/.atuin directory
  2. Delete the ~/.config/atuin directory
  3. Delete the ~/.local/share/atuin directory

  4. Remove the shell integration:

  5. On Bash, remove the lines referencing atuin init and ~/.atuin/bin/env from ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, and ~/.bash_login. The installer may have installed bash-preexec; if you wish to remove it too, delete ~/.bash-preexec.sh and remove the line referencing it from ~/.bashrc.

  6. On Zsh, remove the lines referencing atuin init and ~/.atuin/bin/env from ~/.zshrc and ~/.zshenv.

  7. On Fish, remove the line referencing atuin init from ~/.config/fish/config.fish and delete ~/.config/fish/conf.d/atuin.env.fish.

Otherwise, uninstalling Atuin depends on your system, and how you installed it.

For example, on macOS, you'd want to run

brew uninstall atuin

and then remove the shell integration.
