ProjectCleaner (or pcleaner) is a command-line utility to quickly scan and clean build artifacts from multiple types of projects, including Flutter, Rust, and Node.js. It helps developers reclaim disk space and keep project directories tidy.

• Automatically detects projects based on their configuration files:

  • pubspec.yaml → Flutter projects
  • Cargo.toml → Rust projects
  • package.json → Node.js projects

• Cleans build artifacts:

  • Flutter: runs flutter clean
  • Rust: runs cargo clean
  • Node.js: deletes node_modules directory

• Supports dry-run mode to preview actions without deleting anything

• Skips common large directories like .git, .vscode, node_modules, target, and build during scanning

• Interactive confirmation before deleting anything for safety

Clone the repository and build the binary:

git clone <repo-url>
cd pcleaner
go build -o pcleaner main.go

After building, you can run the pcleaner binary from any directory.

./pcleaner [--dry-run]

• --dry-run Scan the directory and show what would be cleaned without actually deleting any files.

# Dry run
./pcleaner --dry-run

# Actual cleanup
./pcleaner

The program will prompt for confirmation before performing any destructive actions.

• Always use --dry-run first if you are unsure what will be deleted.
• The program will prompt for confirmation before performing destructive actions.
• Skipped directories include .git, .vscode, node_modules, target, and build.
