# Sweep

Sweep (swp) finds old projects that haven't been changed in more than a month. It will clean up and remove unnecessary directories containing libraries, dependencies, builds, etc. These files can easily be re-generated at any time by running install or build commands, and if you haven't worked on the project in a while you probably don't need them taking up space right now.

# Getting started

Install swp with npm

npm install --global swp

See installation for alternative ways to install.

# Basic usage

Simply run swp and it will start searching the current directory and all subdirectories (recursively) for code projects it recognises.

swp

You can also pass a path to search

swp ./dev

See usage for more options

# Discovering projects

At this time, the list of built-in discovery rules is relatively short. It will recognise basic Node.js, Rust and Java projects, but nothing beyond that. If you have more sofisticated needs, you can use a .swpfile.

# Built-in rules

• Node.js (will remove the node_modules and .cache directories)
• Rust (will remove the target directory)
• Java (will remove the .gradle and build directories)

These languages are based on my own experience and use patterns.

# Adding more rules

Contributions are welcome! Add the necessary checks in detect_cleanable_project.rs and submit a pull request. See contributing for more details on how to contribute to the project.
