Delete both local and remote copies of an object. Default: false.

--local

Delete only the local copy of an object. A remote copy will not be deleted. Default: false.

-r, --[no-]recurse

Use --recurse to delete directories recursively. Default: --no-recurse.

--repo-mode MODE

The layout of the local chef-repo. Possible values: static, everything, or hosted_everything. Use static for just roles, environments, cookbooks, and data bags. By default, everything and hosted_everything are dynamically selected depending on the server type. Default: everything / hosted_everything.
