dupless
1.0.0
Find duplicated and overlapping directories, files, and trees in a file system.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'dupless'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install dupless
Two applications exist, with different implementations.
This finds duplicated files and directories that at least partially match the files in another directory.
File comparison is based on content of the file, not file names, thus like diff.
This uses caching to avoid repeated reading of files.
When a pair (or more) of files match from two directories, then the directories are compared, and may be one of these types:
Identical: each file in both directories has a match in the other directory.
Contains: each file in one directory has a file in another directory, i.e., the first directory is a superset of the second.
Mismatch: two directories have files in common, i.e., an intersection of at least one element.
This find duplicated hierarchies of files and directories, based on name only (not on
file content, in contrast to dupless).
Two directories are equal (identical) if all directories and files within each directory has a match in the second one.
This does not use caching.
Supersets ("contains") and intersections ("mismatches") are not calculated.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
Bug reports and pull requests are somewhat welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/jpace/dupless.
