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.
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
Shell completions
After setting BASH_COMPLETIONS_DIR or FISH_COMPLETIONS_DIR, you can use the
bash or fish features like so:
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
- smart output (only first few files per dir)
- match speed of gnu utils on traversals
- faster when finding artifacts
- faster with excludes
- faster on small directories
- beat du on large directories
- colorized output
- sort results by size

Foreign-language binaries
These are still very much works in progress; as of now errors and warnings are still in English. Binaries will be available once things stabilize.
