Duplython

What is Duplython ?

Duplython is a simple cli app that can be used to recursively remove duplicates files over a given directory using Python

How does it work ?

Duplython underhood is able to detect any duplicate file using hashing, each single file whether its image | music | video has a unique hash, so if any two file with duplicate hash, one of them will be removed.

Getting started

To start using this tool you might wanna clone or download this repository

$-> git clone https://github.com/Kalebu/Duplython

Dependencies

You don't need to install anything, all the libraries and module used in this tool are found in the Python standard library.

Move into project directory

Now move into the project repository and you will see a script named app.py , now move it to the top directory of a folder you would to clean up the duplicates, whether its your music folder , video folder, or disk top directory and then run the script.

$-> python app.py

Duplicates Screaming out

Now once you run the script, the duplicates present in any subfolder of a top directory will be screaming out as a result of script detecting them thus removing their finger print to your disk, adding up more space to store your important files
