how do i scan my system using rmlint and merge or possibly consolidate into original locations if duplicates which are located all over my home dir and some files might have the same name but a different vversion of the file?
$ rmlint -c fdupes -d -r /home/user/
try on your machine
This command will scan the /home/user directory and its subdirectories using rmlint with the fdupes engine to find and list duplicate files. The -d flag will enable the deletion mode, prompting you to select which duplicates you want to delete or merge. The -r flag will make the scan recursive, searching through all subdirectories. Modify /home/user/ to the actual path of your home directory.
