"Zap that cache!"

nuka-code

A package brought to you by the Nuka-Cola Corporation to zap away those pesky cache, node_modules, and other related files & directories.

Usage

npx nuka-code --help

OR

npm install -g nuka-code
nuka-code --help # or nuke --help

What is this?

Nuka-Code is a CLI tool that removes the need to manually remove cache, node_modules, and other related files & directories. This can replace the usage of rimraf or other similar tools, to clean up your project aka restore it to a clean state (sort of like the first time you git clone your repo).

What does it do?

This package will nuke (delete aka rm -rf) the following:

• cache (.turbo, .vite, .next, etc.)
• node_modules
• build artifacts (dist, out, build, bundle, etc.)

You can view a full list of globs here.

[!WARNING] By default, Nuka-Code SHOULD NOT nuke anything important like package-lock.json, src/**/*.ts, yarn.lock, but as with all things, use at your own risk.

Troubleshooting

Oops I nuked the wrong thing...

Unless you passed in the --force flag, Nuka-Code will ask you for confirmation before nuking anything... so please git commit your changes before running nuka-code!

Its not deleting everything I want it to

Please open an issue with what you want to add to the nuke list and we'll see, we also are considering adding a nuke.config.ts file to allow for more customization but for now simplicity is the name of the game.
