rmlint

Find space waste and other broken things on your filesystem. More information: https://rmlint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rmlint.1.html.

• Check directories for duplicated, empty and broken files:

rmlint {{path/to/directory1 path/to/directory2 ...}}

• Check for space wasters, preferably keeping files in tagged directories (after the double slash):

rmlint {{path/to/directory}} // {{path/to/original_directory}}

• Check for space wasters, keeping everything in the untagged directories:

rmlint --keep-all-untagged {{path/to/directory}} // {{path/to/original_directory}}

• Delete duplicate files found by an execution of rmlint:

./rmlint.sh

• Find duplicate directory trees:

rmlint --merge-directories {{path/to/directory}}

• Mark files at lower path [d]epth as originals, on tie choose shorter [l]ength:

rmlint --rank-by={{dl}} {{path/to/directory}}

• Find only duplicates that have the same filename in addition to the same contents:

rmlint --match-basename {{path/to/directory}}

• Find only duplicates that have the same extension in addition to the same contents:

rmlint --match-extension {{path/to/directory}}
