file-sniffer
If you do a significant amount of programming, you'll probably end up with
build artifacts scattered about. sniff
is a tool to help you find those
artifacts. It's especially useful when you're writing build systems,
because you can make sure your clean
command gets everything.
Anecdotally, I found around 2GB of junk with this tool.
Installation
Binary install
The easiest way to install for Linux or Windows is to download a binary from the releases page.
Cargo
If your platform doesn't have binaries, get cargo. Then:
If you want the absolute latest version:
Make sure you are on nightly; if in doubt run
Use
Currently, sniff
looks for files that either have an extension associated with artifacts
or executable files listed in the relevant .gitignore
.
Search current directory for directories with build artifacts:
Look in $DIR
for build artifacts and sort by size:
Look for artifacts or directories containing artifacts that occupy more than 1GB of disk space:
Accessibility
To turn off colorized output:
Features
- find "likely build artifact" directories
- use .gitignore/path to make decision
- match speed of gnu utils on traversals
- faster when finding artifacts
- faster with excludes
- faster on small directories
- colorized output
- sort results by size

Foreign-language binaries
These still need a bit of work; as of now errors and warnings are still in English. Binaries will be available once things stabilize.
