1) Download one of the releases of the repository.
2) Unzip and enter the downloaded repository directory.
3) Install and compile the app and its dependencies:
cmake -B build
sudo cmake --build build --target install
⚠️ sudois not required on Windows.
Mandatory prerequisites:
- C++20 standard
- g++ compiler (library developed on Ubuntu v22.04.1 with g++ v11.4.0)
- CMake (at least v3.15)
Debug mode is used from developers to test the app. To build the app in debug mode:
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
sudo cmake --build buildThis will automatically compile the source code with debug tools.
Prerequisites for debug mode:
To install on ubuntu:
sudo apt install cppcheck
To run IWYU checks:
./test/IWYU.shOnce the application is installed you can easily run it from your terminal in this way:
temp-cleaner [path/to/analyze] [config_file]Where [path/to/analyze] represents the path through which the app will search for .gitignore files through repositories, while [config_file] can be a configuration file containing a list of paths to ignore. Both these arguments are optional and if left empty the search will proceed through the user home directory.
