Supported project types:
- Node
- Cargo
- .NET
- Go
- Gradle
- Mix
- Composer
- Misc. (see "Additional Information")
Cargo
cargo install polykillHomebrew
brew tap bdeering1/polykill
brew install polykillNix flake
# Run directly
nix run github:Bdeering1/polykill
# Add to ephemeral shell
nix shell github:Bdeering1/polykillpolykill [OPTIONS] [DIR]Polykill will recursively search for projects in the provided directory and output a list of all projects found. If no directory is provided, the current directory will be searched.
When the search has completed, navigate the menu using the following controls:
| Key Bind | Action |
|---|---|
| ↓, ↑, ←, →, h, j, k, l | select project |
| enter, del | remove artifacts |
| esc, q | exit |
Warning for Node projects: Some Node applications need their node_modules directory to work and deleting it may break them.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| -v, --verbose | Verbose output |
| -s, --skip-empty | Hide projects with zero possible disk savings |
| --no-vcs | Include projects without version control (will slow down search) |
| -u, --unsorted | Don't sort projects |
| -h, --help | Print help |
| -V, --version | Print version |
*supported version control systems are: git, svn, and mercurial
How projects are identified and which files or directories will be removed:
| Type | Identifier(s) | Artifacts |
|---|---|---|
| Node | package.json | node_modules |
| Cargo | cargo.toml | target |
| .NET | .csproj | bin, obj |
| Go | go.mod | dir(.exe), dir.test(.exe) |
| Gradle | build.gradle(.kts) | build |
| Mix | mix.exs | _build, deps |
| Composer | composer.json | vendor |
| Misc. | bin, build, dist | bin, build, dist |
*dir for go projects is the name of the project directory
