About:
Kondo scans project directories for common build artifacts, dependency folders, and other non-essential files that can be safely deleted to reclaim disk space. It supports multiple ecosystems including Rust, Node.js, and Python, and provides a safe, interactive process to review changes before deletion. This tool helps developers maintain a clean workspace without manually hunting for large, unnecessary files.
Key Features:
  • Multi-language support for projects like Rust, Node.js, Python, and Unity
  • Interactive CLI to review and approve files for deletion
  • Fast scanning using pre-configured rules for common build artifacts
  • Safe operation that requires explicit user confirmation
Use Cases:
  • Freeing up disk space on development machines by cleaning old builds
  • Preparing project directories for archiving or sharing
  • CI/CD cleanup to remove build artifacts after deployment
Alternatives:
  • dua-cli – Dua is for analyzing disk usage, while Kondo focuses on identifying and removing specific non-essential files.
  • ncdu – Ncdu is an interactive disk usage analyzer, whereas Kondo automates the cleanup of known temporary files.
