Drop ctkit-managed content types

ctkit drop

Deletes every content type that ctkit manages (those with a corresponding local schema definition) along with all entries of those types. Before executing, ctkit displays what will be deleted and requires you to type DELETE to confirm.

The following content types and their entries will be deleted:
  - blogPost (12 entries)
  - author (3 entries)

Type DELETE to confirm:

Drop all content types

ctkit drop --all-content-types

Deletes every content type in the space — not just the ones ctkit manages. Use this to completely reset a space. The flag is intentionally long to prevent accidental use.

Drop a specific content type

ctkit drop --content-type blogPost

Deletes only the specified content type and its entries.

Clear migration history

ctkit drop --include-history

Also removes the migration tracking data that ctkit stores in Contentful. This effectively resets the migration state so that ctkit migrate treats all migrations as pending.

Can be combined with other flags:

ctkit drop --all-content-types --include-history

Skip confirmation

ctkit drop --yes-delete-everything

Skips the interactive DELETE confirmation prompt. The flag is intentionally verbose — you shouldn’t be able to type this by accident.

Flags

Flag	Description
`--all-content-types`	Delete all content types in the space, not just ctkit-managed ones.
`--content-type <name>`	Delete only the specified content type.
`--include-history`	Also clear migration tracking data from Contentful.
`--yes-delete-everything`	Skip the confirmation prompt.
