# 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.
INFO
This project used to be named Project Cleanup, but got renamed because swp
is a much easier command to run than project-cleanup
.
# 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
andbuild
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.
