How to uninstall pre-commit

Question

Following the "non administrative installation" instructions on Pre-Commit's website, I ran the following command:

curl http://pre-commit.com/install-local.py | python

These instructions provide the following note: "(To upgrade: run again, to uninstall: pass uninstall to python)."

Right now, I want to uninstall pre-commit. I am trying to understand how to pass uninstall to Python. I'm not sure what passing uninstall entails.

I've tried:

curl http://pre-commit.com/install-local.py | python --uninstall
curl http://pre-commit.com/install-local.py | --uninstall python
curl http://pre-commit.com/install-local.py | uninstall | python

..and a couple other probably even more nonsense variations. All of which result in:

There are very granular options -> pre-commit uninstall -h

To remove every hook:
pre-commit uninstall -t pre-commit -t pre-merge-commit -t pre-push -t prepare-commit-msg -t commit-msg -t post-commit -t post-checkout -t post-merge -t post-rewrite

Idiot-proof uninstall:

pip install pre-commit \
&& pre-commit uninstall -t pre-commit -t pre-merge-commit -t pre-push -t prepare-commit-msg -t commit-msg -t post-commit -t post-checkout -t post-merge -t post-rewrite \
&& pip uninstall pre-commit -y
