Examples

ed uninstall
ed uninstall --json

The key is removed, not linked; install and uninstall do not share a field name for the list of names they touched.

There is no --directory here. Uninstall always looks in the same preferred directory install would have chosen, so links you placed elsewhere with ed install --directory ~/bin are not removed and have to be deleted by hand. Only symlinks are removed, and any symlink at one of those three names goes whatever it points at. A regular file called ed is left alone.

Nothing about it can fail: an empty directory prints nothing to remove in <directory> and exits 0.
