cachewipe

cachewipe is a command line utility I originally built to wipe all PYC files from a Python monorepo, while respecting the gitignore (not deleting files that we want to keep). As of now, this tool is fully functional, but does not pay attention to gitignore due to some issues im having with the library.

Installation

This crate can be installed via cargo with:

cargo install cachewipe
