The Tin Summer
If you do a significant amount of programming, you'll probably end up with
build artifacts scattered about. sn 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.
As of recently, sn is also a replacement for du. It has far nicer
output, saner commands and defaults, and it even runs faster on multicores.
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:
Make sure you are on nightly; otherwise
Use
Currently, sn looks for files that either have an extension associated with
build artifacts, as well as executable files listed in the relevant
.gitignore, .ignore, or darcs boringfile.
Search current directory for directories with build artifacts:
Look in $DIR for build artifacts and sort them by size:
Look for artifacts or directories containing artifacts that occupy more than 200MB of disk space:
Shell completions
After setting BASH_COMPLETIONS_DIR or FISH_COMPLETIONS_DIR, you can use the
bash or fish features like so:
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)
- colorized output
- sort results by size

Name
The name is a pun on Günter Grass' novel Die Blechtrommel or The Tin Drum in
English. Thus, the binary is sn, and it sums up file sizes in directories.
