About:
dupseek is an interactive command-line utility designed to identify and manage duplicate files within a filesystem. It scans directories to find files with identical content, presenting results in a user-friendly interface for review. The tool helps users reclaim disk space and maintain a cleaner file system by safely removing redundant copies.

Key Features:

Interactive selection of duplicates for deletion
Content-based hashing for accurate detection
Support for various matching criteria (size, hash)
Command-line interface for scripting and automation

Use Cases:

Cleaning up large photo or media libraries with accidental copies
Freeing up disk space on full hard drives
Organizing downloaded files and documents

Alternatives:

fdupes – fdupes is a non-interactive command-line tool that quickly identifies duplicates but lacks a built-in interactive review interface.
dupeGuru – dupeGuru offers a graphical user interface (GUI) for cross-platform duplicate finding, whereas dupseek is a terminal-based tool.
