nmclear

nmclear is a Bash script that traverses all subdirectories within the current directory, finds node_modules directories, and offers to delete them to save space.

This script is helpful for developers working with Node.js projects, where node_modules directories can take up a significant amount of disk space.

Installation

You can install nmclear with Homebrew. If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can install it with the following command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Once Homebrew is installed, you can install nmclear with these commands:

brew tap gthrm/nmclear
brew install nmclear

This will download the nmclear script and make it executable from any directory.

Usage

To use nmclear, navigate to the directory that you want to clean up, and then run:

nmclear

The script will find all node_modules directories and print their paths. It will then ask for confirmation before deleting them. If you answer y or yes, it will delete the directories; if you answer n or no, it will leave them alone.

Please use this script with caution, as deleting node_modules directories can break Node.js projects if they are not properly reinstalled.

Updates

You can update nmclear to the latest version with this command:

brew upgrade nmclear
