KIC (Keep It Clean)

Links

• https://crates.io/crates/kic

Abstract

• "kic" prevents someone from making a mess of directories.
• For registered directories, "kic" automatically moves "dust" files into "dust box".
• "dust" is file which is not specified as a requirement in "kic".

Notice

• "kic" uses your cron in UNIX platform.
• "kic" is incomplete for Windows platform.
  • Autonomous deletion
  • Judgement of a hidden file
  • Instantly move of "dust" file
  • Directory which is forbid to run

Installation

1. Please install stable version of rust. See here.
2. $ cargo install kic
3. Add "~/.cargo/bin" directory to $PATH.

Example for MacOS

$ curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh

$ cargo install kic

$ echo 'PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.cargo/bin' >> $HOME/.bash_profile && source $HOME/.bash_profile

Update the package

1. $ cargo uninstall kic
2. $ cargo install kic

Basic Usage

Preliminary

• We use tree command for easily explanation.

Hello, "kic"!

1. Change directory which you want to register.
2. $ kic init
3. Confirm .kic directory and essential files have been created in current directory.
4. Confirm initially existing files have written in "ignore" file.

$ pwd
/Users/tokutake/tmp

Try to move "dust" files manually

1. Make "dust" files.
2. $ kic sweep all (dry-run)
3. Check "dust" files are not moved to "dust box".
4. $ kic sweep all indeed
5. Check "dust" files have been moved to "dust box".

Why we used all option above example?

1. Make "dust" files.
2. $ kic sweep (dry-run)
3. Confirm "dust" files do not appear in the list.
4. Confirm there is the moratorium Until "dust" files are moved to "dust box" (Default: 10 minutes).
