[![Run tests](https://github.com/requirecloud/composer-slimmer/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/requirecloud/composer-slimmer/actions/workflows/tests.yml)

Plan of Cleanup
---------------

[](#plan-of-cleanup)

- Remove listed folders (so we don't need to search inside them)
- Find all files with patterns e.g. \*.{md,txt,rst,dist}
- Make list of files to be removed from found files and listed files
- Remove files
- Report the size of removed files and folders

How to test
-----------

[](#how-to-test)

Require Plugin in the project and accept plugin:

```
composer require requirecloud/composer-slimmer
```

Clean projects vendor and other folders loaded by Composer.

Then test installing with Composer Slimmer plugin (`-v` flag is for verbose output):

```
composer install -v
```

At the end you should see how much space was saved.
