Project Cleanup Scripts

Bash scripts to maintain and optimize your development environment by cleaning up Git repositories and old log files.

Overview

This project provides two scripts to keep your development workspace clean and optimized:

• Git Repository Optimization: Runs git gc on all repositories to reclaim disk space
• Log File Cleanup: Removes old log files based on age criteria

Scripts

cleanup-git.sh

Recursively finds all Git repositories in a directory and optimizes them using git gc --aggressive.

cleanup-logs.sh

Removes old files from common log directories (log, logs, tmp and temp) based on modification time.

Installation

1. Clone or download the scripts to your local machine:

   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabioboris/cleanup-scripts/refs/heads/main/cleanup-git.sh
   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabioboris/cleanup-scripts/refs/heads/main/cleanup-logs.sh

2. Make them executable:

   chmod +x cleanup-git.sh cleanup-logs.sh

3. Optional: Move to a directory in your PATH:

   sudo mv cleanup-*.sh /usr/local/bin/
