## Background

When Gatsby creates a build of your site it will auto-inject a `` tag indicating the Gatsby version used to build your site. For example:

```html

```

This is too much detail for my personal preference, and also has potential security implications.

This plugin lets you either customize this content string, or remove the `meta` tag completely.

## Install

> Note: The generator tag is only injected during a production build, and so this plugin will only have an effect on the production output.

To add this plugin to your Gatsby setup, simply install using yarn/npm

```sh

yarn add gatsby-plugin-remove-generator

# or

npm install gatsby-plugin-remove-generator

```

and add the plugin to your config file:

```js

// gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {

  ...

  plugins: [

    'gatsby-plugin-remove-generator',

  ]

};

```

And you're done. By default, with the above setup, the `meta` tag will be removed completely from your build. Use the options config to customize the behavior.

## Options

```js

// gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {

  ...

  plugins: [

    {

      resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-remove-generator',

      options: {

        // Only remove the Gatsby version number instead of the whole `meta` tag

        removeVersionOnly: true,

        // Customise the generator content string.

        // Note: This has the highest precedence of the available options.

        content: 'Custom string'

      },

  ]

};

```
