Remove tags completely

[einarpersson]

Hi!

I see that i can use apy tag to untag cards, but I don't see how to remove the tags themselves. Is this possible and if so how?

Also consider the case "remove all unused tags" which is possible through the desktop app.

Thanks for a great project!

No, you are right, there is no way to remove a tag. I've actually wanted that a couple of times myself. I think having apy tag purge or something could solve this? It would do the same as the "remove all unused tags" that you mention. If you agree, then I'll go ahead and make this. But feel free to suggest a better name or idea!

Thanks for a great project!

Glad you like it!

I've added a --purge option now, so you can do apy tag --purge. If you are using the latest master branch you can update and test. If not, then you can test e.g. by doing something like this:

# Clone the forked repo
git clone git@github.com:<username>/apy.git
cd apy/

# Install the project with Poetry
poetry install
poetry run apy tag -c
poetry run apy tag --purge
poetry run apy tag -c

I'm using pipx and not sure how to upgrade to latest master (if at all possible). Any release coming soon? it would be a nice feature! If it works for you i guess it will work for me!

There's been several releases since January, so you can also use pipx to install the latest release. pipx upgrade may be what you want.

ahh sorry, since this was still open i just assumed it hadn't been released yet. my bad

but perhaps close it then?

thanks again for a useful tool!

Yes, I was sort of waiting for feedback before closing. 😅

Agree to closing it, and thanks for the kind words!
