Quickly find and purge `vendor` and `node_modules` directories from your projects to free up disk space.

### Install (global)

[](#install-global)

```
composer global require nickwelsh/cull
```

Ensure Composer's global bin dir is on your PATH:

```
export PATH="$(composer global config bin-dir --absolute 2>/dev/null):$PATH"
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

From any directory:

```
cull
```

Cull will recursively scan the current working directory, list all `vendor` and `node_modules` folders it finds, and let you select which ones to delete.

You can skip file size calculations by passing the `--no-size` flag.

```
cull --no-size
```

### Notes

[](#notes)

- Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (via PHP). Requires PHP 8.1+.
