ProjClean

Find and clean heavy build or cache directories in your system.

ProjClean identifies projects based on the project feature file, and then decides based on that project whether or not the matching directory should be added to the cleanup list.

• Identify Rust projects according to Cargo.toml, only target directories in Rust projects are to be cleaned.
• Identify Java/Android projects according to build.gradle, only the build directory in Java/Android projects should be cleaned.
• Identify Node projects based on package.json, only the node_modules directory in Node projects should be cleaned.

Project Rule

ProjClean finds target folders according to project rule.

Each project rule consist of three parts.

<to clean up directory>[;feature file][;project name]

You can print the default project rules with projclean -l.

node_modules;package.json;node
target;Cargo.toml;rust
build;build.gradle;java
^(Debug|Release)$;\.sln$;vs

You can append custom rules.

projclean -p dist -p '.next;;nextjs' -p '^(build|dist)$;package.json;js'

You can also write project rules to a file then load.

projclean -l > rules.csv
echo '.next;;nextjs' >> rules.csv
echo '^(build|dist)$;package.json;js' >> rules.csv

projclean -f rules.csv

More examples:

projclean                    # Find from current directory
projclean $HOME              # Find from $HOME directory
projclean -l                 # Print project rules
projclean -t                 # Print the matching directory directly (without entering tui)
