Polykill

Lightweight command line utility for removing dependencies and build artifacts from unused local projects. Inspired by npkill.

Supported project types:

  • Cargo
  • Node
  • Mix
  • .NET Core
  • Gradle
  • Composer
  • Misc (see "Addional Information")

Installation

cargo install polykill

Usage

polykill [OPTIONS] [DIR]

Polykill will recursively search for projects in the provided directory and output a list of all projects found. If no directory is provided, the current directory will be searched.

Move between listed projects using ↓,↑,←,→ and press enter to delete artifacts for the selected project.

Press q or esc to exit.

Warning for Node projects: Some Node applications need their node_modules directory to work and deleting it may break them.

Options

Argument Description
-v, --verbose Verbose output
-n, --no-git Include projects not tracked by git
-s, --skip-empty Hide projects with zero possible disk savings
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version

*--no-git option will slow down project search
