<VersionLabel version="0.36.0" header />

The `proto unpin <tool>` command will unpin a version of a tool.

```shell
$ proto unpin go
$ proto unpin node --tool-native
```

By default this will update the local [`./.prototools`](../config) file. Pass `--from` to customize
the location.

When a [lockfile](../lockfile) is in use, matching records will also be removed.

<VersionLabel version="0.60.0" />

### Arguments

- `<tool>` - Type of tool.

### Options

- `--from` - [Location of `.prototools`](../config#locations) to update. Supports `global`, `local`,
  and `user`.
  <VersionLabel version="0.41.0" />
- `--tool-native` - Use a tool specific location, like the `devEngines` field in the `package.json`
  for JavaScript tools.
