It helps keeping your disk clean of build and dependency artifacts safely.\n\n![demo](resources/demo.gif)\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n## About \n\nIn short, putzen solves the problem of cleaning up build or dependency artifacts.\nIt does so by a simple \"File\" -\u003e \"Folder\" rule. If the \"File\" and \"Folder\" is present, it cleans \"Folder\"\n\nIt also does all this fast, means in parallel (if the filesystem supports it).\n\n### Supported Artifacts\n\nputzen supports cleaning artifacts for:\n\n| type       | file that is checked | folder that is cleaned |\n|------------|----------------------|------------------------|\n| rust       | Cargo.toml           | target                 |\n| javascript | package.json         | node_modules           |\n| CMake      | CMakeLists.txt       | build                  |\n\nfurthermore, it does also support:\n- It can do run a dry-run (`-d`)\n- Interactive asking for deletion\n- Sums up the space that will be freed\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### Install\n\n### On Linux as snap\n\n[![Get it from the Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/static/images/badges/en/snap-store-black.svg)](https://snapcraft.io/putzen)\n\n- installation [for Linux Mint](https://snapcraft.io/install/putzen/mint)\n- installation [for Arch Linux](https://snapcraft.io/install/putzen/arch)\n\n*TL;DR:*\n```sh\nsudo snap install putzen\n```\n\n### With cargo\n\nTo install the `putzen`, you just need to run\n\n```sh\ncargo install putzen-cli\n```\n\n**Note** the binary is called `putzen` (without `-cli`)\n\nto verify if the installation was successful, you can run `which putzen` that should output similar to\n\n```sh\n$HOME/.cargo/bin/putzen\n```\n\n### Usage\n\n```sh\n$ putzen --help\n\nUsage: putzen [-v] [--scores] [-d] [-y] [-L] [-a] [--] [\u003cfolder\u003e]\n\nhelp keeping your disk clean of build and dependency artifacts\n\nPositional Arguments:\n  folder            path where to start with disk clean up.\n\nOptions:\n  -v, --version     show the version number\n  --scores          show the stored highscore board and exit\n  -d, --dry-run     dry-run will never delete anything, good for simulations\n  -y, --yes-to-all  switch to say yes to all questions\n  -L, --follow      follow symbolic links\n  -a, --dive-into-hidden-folders\n                    dive into hidden folders too, e.g. `.git`\n  --help, help      display usage information\n```\n\n### Highscores\n\nEvery putzen run earns you a little reward. The biggest single cleanup and the biggest total run ever measured are kept as a tiny gold/silver/bronze podium. Keep running it on your machine and watch your records stack up over time — show the board any time with `--scores`:\n\n```\n❯ putzen --scores\n\n   ──── ★ SINGLE CLEANUP ★ ────\n     🥇 Gold\n         40.1GiB · 2026-03-14\n   ────────────────────────────\n     🥈 Silver\n         37.9GiB · 2026-03-10\n   ────────────────────────────\n     🥉 Bronze\n          6.5GiB · 2026-03-14\n   ────────────────────────────\n\n   ──── ★    TOTAL RUN   ★ ────\n     🥇 Gold\n         60.3GiB · 2026-03-14\n   ────────────────────────────\n     🥈 Silver\n         44.6GiB · 2026-03-10\n   ────────────────────────────\n     🥉 Bronze\n         19.6GiB · 2026-04-03\n   ────────────────────────────\n```\n\n## Alternative Projects\n\n- [kondo](https://github.com/tbillington/kondo)\n\n## License\n\n- **[GNU GPL v3 license](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0)**\n- Copyright 2019 - 2023 © [Sven Kanoldt](https://d34dl0ck.me)\n- Logo - [Clean icons created by photo3idea_studio - Flaticon](https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/clean)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsassman%2Fputzen-rs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsassman%2Fputzen-rs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsassman%2Fputzen-rs/lists"}
