Uklid 🧹

Uklid (pronounced [uːklɪt], "cleanup" in Czech) is an interactive CLI node_modules cleaner written in Rust. It looks for top-level node_modules in your computer, shows you their size and allows you to delete them conveniently.

Installation

cargo install uklid

Usage

uklid 0.2.0
Atris <vacekj@outlook.com>
Interactively delete node_modules.

Run without options for interactive mode

USAGE:
    uklid [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
    -d, --dry            Don't delete anything, only print found directories
    -h, --help           Print help information
    -p, --path <PATH>    Path to start recursive search for node_modules from
    -V, --version        Print version information

Features

• recursively search your home directory for node_modules
• limit search to a specific directory
• show sizes and last modified time
• multi-select what you want to delete
• show total storage freed up
• non-interactive mode (uklid --help)
• high test coverage for both interactive and non-interactive mode

Roadmap

• Stop recursive search upon hitting top-level node_modules
  • Currently we search all subdirectories, which is inefficient
• better searching algorithm
• multi-threaded searching and cleaning
