rmlint: Check a directory for duplicates, empty files, and other issues.

rmlint

$ rmlint ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command "rmlint" is a program used to find and remove duplicate and redundant files in a directory. It helps free up storage space by identifying and eliminating unnecessary copies of files.

In the command "rmlint ${path-to-directory}", "${path-to-directory}" represents the path to the directory that you want to scan for duplicate files. It can be a relative or absolute path.

When you execute this command in a terminal or command prompt, the rmlint program will scan the specified directory and analyze its contents. It will identify duplicate files based on their content, not just their names. After the analysis is complete, rmlint will provide a report showing the duplicate files found.

Make sure you have the rmlint program installed on your system before using this command.
