A simple script to remove all node_modules folders in a directory
My PC had a lot of old web projects that I didn't use anymore, but they were taking up a lot of space. Manually deleting all the node_modules folders was a pain, so I wrote this script to do it for me.
By defaul script will ignore folders that start with a dot (.git, .vscode, etc.) and folders that contain a .npmnukeignore file. You can also specify your own ignore file with the --ignore-file option or modify .nmpnukeignore in your home directory.
- Add new UI using https://github.com/Textualize/textual
- Somehow make it detect monorepos and combine search results for them
- Add last modified date to search results
- Add option to open search results in file manager
