REMOVE A NAMESPACE

This guide shows you how to remove a namespace assignment from a repository and optionally return its data to the un-namespaced solo layout.

Unset without data migration

If you only want to remove the namespace label without moving data:

$ swamp datastore namespace unset

Namespace unset (was "infra")

The namespace is removed from .swamp.yaml. Data remains at its current namespaced path (.swamp/infra/...). This is useful when you plan to reassign a different namespace or when the data will be accessed by other namespaces.

Unset and reverse-migrate data

To remove the namespace and move data back to the top-level solo layout:

$ swamp datastore namespace unset --migrate --confirm

This combines two operations: unsetting the namespace and running a reverse migration. Data moves from .swamp/infra/data/ back to .swamp/data/, and so on for all directories.

If you want to preview before committing, omit --confirm:

$ swamp datastore namespace migrate --reverse

This shows the reverse migration preview without executing it.

Verify

After unsetting, confirm the namespace is removed:

$ swamp datastore namespace list

The removed namespace no longer appears in the list. If no other namespaces exist in the datastore, the list is empty and the repository is back in solo mode.
