Polykill
Like polyfill - but more violent
Lightweight utility for removing unwanted dependencies and build artifacts from local projects. Inspired by npkill.
Supported project types:
- Node
- Cargo
- .NET
- Go
- Gradle
- Mix
- Composer
- Misc. (see "Addional Information")
Installation
cargo install polykill
Usage
polykill [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.
Options
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
