Welcome to bigfiles Discussions!

Welcome to the bigfiles community!

Thanks for stopping by. This is the place to talk about everything around the tool — issues and PRs are for code, Discussions are for everything else.

A few things this space is great for:

• Show your worst offender — paste a bigfiles audit ~ output. What was eating your disk?
• Feature ideas — things you wish bigfiles did. The roadmap is shaped by what people actually ask for.
• Workflows & tips — clever --exclude patterns, jq pipelines, shell aliases, cron setups.
• Questions — stuck on a flag, confused by output, not sure if a behavior is a bug? Ask here first.
• Benchmarks — running bigfiles against fd, dust, fclones, or ncdu? Numbers welcome, honest ones especially.

To kick things off: drop a comment below with:

1. What OS / shell you're on
2. The biggest "oh god" moment you've had with bigfiles (the duplicate folder you forgot about, the 40GB of old .dmg files, etc.)
3. One thing you'd want bigfiles to do that it doesn't yet

Be kind, be curious, and remember: we're all here because our ~/Downloads got out of hand.
