eject

Take permanent, sole ownership of your infrastructure files when you no longer want the CLI managing them, while keeping everything running in AWS.

What it does

• Asks for explicit confirmation (defaulting to “No”); declining cancels with no changes.
• Strips deploy-stack metadata from your local files: removes the # deploy-stack generated infrastructure header and the default_tags { tags = { ManagedBy = "deploy-stack" } } block from terraform/main.tf, and removes the # deploy-stack backups block from .gitignore.
• Recursively deletes every *.bak.* backup file in the project (skipping node_modules and .git).
• Leaves your infrastructure fully operational as raw, standalone Terraform. As a final step, run terraform apply inside terraform/ so AWS syncs state and removes the live ManagedBy tags.
• Emits a project_ejected telemetry event. This cannot be undone.

Usage

npx deploy-stack eject
