fdupes: Search multiple directories.
$ fdupes ${directory1} ${directory2}
try on your machine
This command is used to find and identify duplicate files in two different directories.
The ${directory1} and ${directory2} are placeholders for the actual directories that you want to compare. You should replace them with the actual directory names or paths.
The command will compare the files in both directories and locate the duplicates. It will display a list of duplicate files found, indicating the file name and path of each duplicate.
The fdupes command is a popular tool for identifying and managing duplicate files in Linux systems. It analyzes the file content rather than just comparing file names or sizes, making it more accurate in finding duplicates.
