autoflake: Remove unused imports from multiple files and display the diffs.
$ autoflake --remove-all-unused-imports ${filename1-py filename2-py ---}
try on your machine
The command you mentioned is used to run the autoflake tool with some specific options. Autoflake is a Python program that removes unused imports and unused variables from Python code.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
autoflake
: This is the name of the command or executable to run. In this case, it refers to the autoflake program.--remove-all-unused-imports
: This option specifies that autoflake should remove all unused import statements from the given Python files.${filename1-py filename2-py ---}
: This part of the command represents a list of file names.${filename1-py}
and${filename2-py}
likely represent placeholders that should be replaced with actual file names. The---
indicates the end of the list of file names.
To use this command, you need to replace ${filename1-py filename2-py ---}
with the actual names of the Python files you want to remove unused imports from. For example, if you have two Python files named script1.py
and script2.py
, you would replace ${filename1-py filename2-py ---}
with script1.py script2.py
.
