Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11541

Other tools, like docker and podman have a quiet flag to return only the IDs, e.g:

 ~/G/ollama (feature/list-names-only)> podman images
REPOSITORY                 TAG         IMAGE ID      CREATED      SIZE
docker.io/library/mariadb  latest      b5898e2f8654  6 weeks ago  361 MB
 ~/G/ollama (feature/list-names-only)> podman images --quiet
b5898e2f8654
 ~/G/ollama (feature/list-names-only)>

The use case behind this is to get a list of local models, so you can iterate over them without using external tools to get the names only (instead of IDs, as the names matter the most).

It's implemented on https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/11540 the flag names-only for ollama list command, e.g:

 ~/G/ollama (feature/list-names-only)> ./ollama list
NAME                  ID              SIZE      MODIFIED
