There is currently no way to disable packages from the command-line - we should add an apm disable command that can take one or more package names and disable them in Atom (as well as its counterpart, apm enable).

It's possible to do manually: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/5987#issuecomment-84129975
But, I agree, :+1: for apm disable.

@mnquintana now there's a way. Chance of a review for #400?

@nmccready the PR (#400) accepts multiple packages on the command line:
apm disable metrics exception-reporting
is this what you mean by bulk?

Any suggestions how I could use xargs from apm list to disable all installed packages (not default) . I am unable to get the editor to open with latest update.

@nmccready sorry, I don't know of a good way. In theory it ought to look something like this:
apm disable $(apm list --installed --bare)
But that doesn't work because --bare still includes "@_version_" after each package name.
I like the idea of a --really-bare option that would make that work. Probably worth opening a new issue?
(Or, maybe apm should just remove the "@_version_" from --bare's output. That's what I picture by "bare". :)

@bronson , no worries; I had to blow everything away and start from scratch. Atom keeps breaking thing with all the updates lately.

@bronson apm list -ib | sed s/@.*// will give you a plain text list of all packages.
apm list -ibd false | sed s/@.*// will do the same, excluding disabled packages.

@nmccready Yes, it's been a particularly rough patch over the past month or two. Hoping things will settle down now that Electron and Node are updated.
@danielbayley agreed, that does the job here. But I think it's a bad sign when a command line program can't ingest its own output. It would be nice to have a proper fix.
Another potential fix would be to modify apm enable/disable to ignore the @_version_ tags. That's probably easier and has less risk of breaking other things. Even so, I'd rather make --bare's output more bare. I think.

If anyone cares, maybe open a new issue for the ingest/output problem? (apm list prints package@version, but apm install doesn't accept that syntax)
Of the possible solutions, I wouldn't know which to choose. I'm happy to write the fix once there's agreement.

To make things clear to whomever interested
apm disable $(apm list -ib | sed -e 's/@.*// ')
disables all the atom packages.
