AI BriefingPickcleanupper: Clear 18GB of Xcode DerivedData with a Single Terminal Command to Trash
SewCabinSpout/cleanupper
About the project
Instantly clean up development tool remnants like Xcode DerivedData, npm caches, and Homebrew bottlenecks that fill up Mac storage directly from the terminal. Review the size and safety rating of each item in the scan results, with deleted files moved to the Trash to allow for accidental recovery.
Unlike paid GUI apps such as CleanMyMac, it operates as a fully open-source CLI without subscriptions or upselling. It uses a fixed catalog approach that structurally blocks personal files and critical system paths, selectively removing only caches and logs that apps can automatically regenerate.
The purge command, specialized for development environments, identifies artifacts like old node_modules or .venv directories within project folders. It supports JSON output and auto-execution flags for integration with CI or cron jobs. All processing is performed locally, with no network requests or remote data collection.
