Trying to clean up my laptop a bit today by removing some unused brew packages.
|
|
|
|
Normally I would use `brew list` but this also list packages that are dependicies.
|
|
Here is a way to list the top level packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ brew leaves
|
|
asciinema
|
|
aspell
|
|
autoconf
|
|
awscli
|
|
bat
|
|
bumpversion
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
$ brew uninstall neomutt newsboat travisshears/tap/deploy_tool weechat
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
