Uninstalling

Because the .NET SDK packages uses shared dependencies between different versions, it is unwise to delete these dependencies when uninstalling a particular version as it will cause other versions not to work.

If there is a need to purge these dependencies, use the zap flag:

brew uninstall --zap --cask <version>

Important: Uninstalling the offical version will also remove these dependencies, so you'll need to reinstall the particular version you want to use again.

Known issues

Uninstalling dotnet-sdk without using homebrew

If your dotnet-sdk was installed using homebrew but uninstalled manually outside of homebrew, homebrew will still think that your dotnet-sdk is still installed. This is unavoidable. Homebrew might stil think there is "nothing to do" even if the cask is reinstalled, eg brew reinstall dotnet-sdk-8-400.

In this case, zap your installation, brew uninstall --zap dotnet-sdk-8-400 before installing it again.

Upgrading your official dotnet-sdk causes some issues

When upgrading the official dotnet-sdk cask, especially on major version updates, may cause incompatible issues with casks in this tap. This is because the official cask assumes that it is the only dotnet installation and when upgrading, uninstalls shared dependencies required by other versions of dotnet-sdk installed by this tap.

To recover from this, reinstall all affected dotnet-sdk versions, eg brew reinstall dotnet-sdk-8-400. If this doesn't work, all casks may need to be zapped before reinstalling, eg brew uninstall --zap dotnet-sdk-8-400.

Using a particular version

The dotnet command will automatically use the latest appropriate version unless specified by a global.json.
