rmlint: Find only duplicates that have the same filename in addition to the same contents.
$ rmlint --match-basename ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine
This command is using the "rmlint" utility with the "--match-basename" flag to find and remove duplicate files within a specific directory.
Here's a breakdown of the components:
- "rmlint" is a command-line utility used for finding and removing duplicates or unused files on a system.
- "--match-basename" is an option or flag provided by "rmlint" that specifies the criteria for matching duplicate files. In this case, it is matching files with the same basename (file name) within the directory.
- "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want to find and remove duplicate files. The command will scan this specified directory for files with the same basename and take appropriate actions based on the options provided.
In summary, this command will search for duplicate files within the specified directory based on their basenames and perform actions to remove them using the "rmlint" tool.
