dewfpga uninstall

What does its help text say?

dewfpga uninstall               remove what install built in ~/fpga (nextpnr-xilinx, yosys-slang, prjxray, chipdb, venv, log),
                                 the CLI in ~/.dewfpga and its link in Homebrew's bin. Your files and brew packages stay

From dewfpga --help, as bin/dewfpga prints it.

What does the README say?

It puts the CLI in ~/.dewfpga (sha256 compared with dewfpga.tgz.sha256, an integrity check, not a signature), links dewfpga into Homebrew's bin and runs dewfpga install. Re-run the same line to update; dewfpga uninstall removes what the installer built in ~/fpga (nextpnr-xilinx, prjxray, chipdb, venv, the log), ~/.dewfpga and the link, and leaves anything else in ~/fpga. Requirements: macOS on Apple Silicon and Homebrew. The builds also need Apple's Command Line Tools (git, make, clang); the Homebrew installer puts them in when they are missing, and both installers check and print the one line to run if either is missing or Homebrew is off the PATH. Switching to the npm package later: remove $(brew --prefix)/bin/dewfpga first, npm wants that path. An install made before 7 October 2026 keeps its clones (1.5 GB, 1543 MB measured on 7 October) and is left as it is; dewfpga uninstall && dewfpga install gets the small one.
