# ProjClean
[](https://github.com/sigoden/projclean/actions/workflows/ci.yaml)
[](https://crates.io/crates/projclean)
Find and clean dependencies & builds from software projects to saving space or making backup easier.

## Why
- **Save space**: Cleans unnecessary directories and files.
- **Very fast**: Written in rust, optimized for concurrency.
- **Easy to use**: A tui listing all found targets and pressing `<space>` to get rid of them.
- **Minified**: single executable file, no dependencies, no installation.
## Install
### With cargo
```
cargo install projclean
```
### Binaries on macOS, Linux, Windows
Download from [Github Releases](https://github.com/sigoden/projclean/releases), unzip and add projclean to your $PATH.
## CLI
```
USAGE:
projclean [OPTIONS] [RULES]...
ARGS:
<RULES>... Search rules
OPTIONS:
-C, --directory <DIR> Start searching from DIR [default: .]
-h, --help Print help information
-t, --targets Print found targets, do not enter tui
-V, --version Print version information
```
Find and clearn node_modules folders.
```
projclean node_modules
```
Common search rules for common projects:
| js | `node_modules` |
| rs | `target@Cargo.toml` |
| vs | `'^(Debug\|Release)$@\.sln$'` |
| ios | `'^(build\|xcuserdata\|DerivedData)$@Podfile'` |
| android | `build@build.gradle` |
| java | `target@pom.xml` |
| php | `vendor@composer.json` |
Find and clean dependencies & builds from kinds of projects.
```
projclean node_modules target@Cargo.toml target@pom.xml
```
Start searching from specific directory, other than currenct work directory.
```
projclean -C $HOME node_modules target@pom.xml
```
## Rule
Projclean find targets according search rule.
Rule consist of two parts:
```
<target-folder>[@flag-file]
```
> Both target folder and flag file can be plain text or regex.
Flag file is used to filter out folders that match only names but not projects.
E.g. The directory has the following contents:
```
.
├── misc-proj
│ └── target
└── rust-proj
├── Cargo.toml
└── target
```
Rule `target` found all `target` folders
```
$ projclean -t target
/tmp/demo/rust-proj/target
/tmp/demo/misc-proj/target
```
Rule `target@Cargo.toml` found `target` folders belongs the rust project.
```
$ projclean -t target@Cargo.toml
/tmp/demo/rust-proj/target
```
