# system-cache-prune
Clear caches from the system.
This tool is intended to cleanup various caches on machine where free
disk availability is regularly critical.
I got tried of remembering which command does the cleanup, is it
- `yarn cache-clear`, `yarn clear-cache`, `yarn clear cache`?
- `composer clean cache`?
so I wrote this script and polished it.
## Usage
```
$ system-cache-prune.sh
$ system-cache-prune.sh subsystem1 subsystem2
```
## Subsystems
- [brew]: Remove stale lock files and outdated downloads for all formulae and casks, and remove old versions of installed formulae.
- [composer]: Deletes all content from Composer's cache directories.
- [docker]: Remove all unused containers, images (both dangling and unreferenced).
- [npm]: Delete all data out of the cache folder.
- [yarn]: Remove the shared cache files.
- [docker:disk-image]: Compact `Docker.raw` or `Docker.qcow2` to return space to the OS.
