uninstall_pyenv_mac.md

You might want to use uv now that it's gotten a bit more stable for Mac. I've already been using it at work and wanted to install it locally for a new project on my computer, but had pyenv. Only do this if you completely want to rip out pyenv, otherwise, just disable it by removing from your ~/.zshrc

Here's what I had to do:

  1. Comment out everything related to pyenv in my ~/.zshrc file and source ~/.zshrc - you may have to search around for all instances if you are like me and not organized about your ~/.zshrc
  2. rm -rf "$HOME/.pyenv" # DOUBLE CHECK THIS COMMAND AND WHERE YOUR pyenv is
  3. brew uninstall pyenv just in case
