I'd like to see the results of
brew cask zap <something>
so I can decide whether I want it to do that before it does it. Is there anything equivalent to a --dry-run
option, that I'm somehow missing? Or any other way of achieving the same results?
Best Answer
There doesn't appear to be a way of doing a dry run of a
brew cask zap
command.You could look at the recipe and work out from that what the command will do. According to the
man
page the command will...So running
brew cask cat <something>
and examining the uninstall stanza (and the zap stanza if it is present) should give you a general idea of the files thatzap
will remove.Longer term you could request a "dry run" feature.
