Installation && Update ------------------------------ [](#installation--update) We provide multiple installation methods to suit your preferences. The recommended way is the standalone executable for Linux and macOS. 1. Quick install (Linux/macOS, standalone executable): ``` curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/barnphp/cnkill/master/install.sh | sh ``` 2. System-wide install (requires sudo): ``` curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/barnphp/cnkill/master/install.sh | sh -s -- --system ``` 3. Install via cpx (the npx for PHP): ``` cpx barnphp/cnkill ``` 4. Install globally via Composer: ``` composer global require barnphp/cnkill ``` You will find it installed in `~/.composer/vendor/bin` or `~/.config/composer/vendor/bin`. Add it to your PATH or create an alias: ``` alias cnkill="~/.composer/vendor/bin/cnkill" # or alias cnkill="~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/cnkill" ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` cnkill [path: defaults to current path] [options] ``` ``` ## Examples cnkill # find both vendor/ and node_modules/ in current path cnkill /path/to/projects # find both vendor/ and node_modules/ in a specific path cnkill /path/to/projects --node # find node_modules/ only cnkill /path/to/projects --composer # find vendor/ only cnkill /path/to/projects --sort=size # sort by size cnkill /path/to/projects --maxdepth=4 # limit search depth cnkill /path/to/projects --rust # find target/ (Rust Cargo) directories only cnkill cache --sort=modified # sort caches by last modified ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) cnkill stores its configuration at `~/.config/cnkill/config.json` (respects `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`). Use the `config` command to manage which targets are scanned and to define custom ones. ### Toggle enabled targets [](#toggle-enabled-targets) ``` cnkill config ``` Opens an interactive multi-select list of all known targets (built-in and custom). Use `Space` to toggle a target on or off, `Enter` to save, and `q` to quit without saving. ### Add a custom target [](#add-a-custom-target) ``` cnkill config add ``` Runs an interactive 4-step wizard: 1. **Folder name or pattern** — a simple name (e.g. `.venv`) or a wildcard path pattern (e.g. `*/ios/build`) 2. **Label** — human-readable name shown in `cnkill config` 3. **Manifest files** — comma-separated files that must exist in the parent directory to confirm it's a real project (e.g. `pyproject.toml, requirements.txt`); leave blank to match any 4. **Lock / reference files** — files used to determine the "last modified" timestamp; defaults to manifests if left blank After the wizard, the new target is saved and automatically enabled. ### Remove a custom target [](#remove-a-custom-target) ``` cnkill config remove ``` Presents a list of user-defined custom targets. Select one and confirm to delete it. ### Built-in targets [](#built-in-targets) TargetDirectoryEnabled by default`vendor`vendor (Composer)Yes`node`node\_modules (npm/pnpm/yarn/bun)Yes`next`.next (Next.js build output)Yes`expo`.expo (Expo / React Native)Yes`turbo`.turbo (Turborepo cache)Yes`svelte-kit`.svelte-kit (SvelteKit)Yes`nuxt`.nuxt (Nuxt build output)Yes`cache`.cache (generic tool cache)Yes`parcel-cache`.parcel-cache (Parcel bundler)Yes`coverage`coverage (test coverage reports)Yes`output`.output (Nitro / Nuxt server output)Yes`rust`target (Cargo build output)Yes`dist`dist (build distribution)No`build`build (generic build output)No`derived-data`DerivedData (Xcode)No`android`android/build (Android / Gradle)No> **Note:** Per-run flags like `--node` and `--composer` override the saved config for that invocation only.
