If you do a significant amount of programming, you'll probably end up with
build artifacts scattered about. sniff is a tool to help you find those
artifacts. It's also a useful aid when you're writing build systems
(because you can make sure your clean command actually cleans everything).
Features: - [x] find "fat" files and directories - [x] colorized output - [x] find "likely build artifact" directories - [ ] use .gitignore/path to make decision - [ ] match speed of gnu utils - [x] faster when finding artifacts
The easiest way to install for Linux or Windows is to download a binary from the releases page.
If your platform doesn't have binaries, get cargo. Then:
bash
$ cargo install file-sniffer
Search current directory for directories with build artifacts:
bash
$ sniff artifacts
Look in $DIR for build artifacts and sort by size:
bash
$ sniff artifacts $DIR --sort
Look for artifacts or directories containing artifacts that occupy more than 1GB of disk space:
bash
$ sniff artifacts -t1G
To turn off colorized output:
bash
export CLICOLOR=0
