clean-my-dev-mac

A simple bash script that cleans up macOS storage, especially development related items.

What It Does:

• Prompt for password if the script is not ran as root (some cleanups will need root access)
• Empty the trash
• Deletes system logs
• Updates and cleans Homebrew
• Clean ruby
• Clean CocoaPod cache
• Delete old Xcode simulators
• Removes docker volumes
• Clean the node_modules that are older thn 5 months
• Purges memory

WARNING

The script is specifically written for my system, therefore it might clean up things that you do not want and even break your development enviornment !!

Usage:

• Read the code and comment out the options that you dont want to be cleaned out
• Be care as the cleaning up of node_modules checks for all folders within the directory in which the script is executed. Suggestion is to run the script in your code-base folder.

Running

bash sweep_it.sh

To-Do

• Code to clean up local git merged branches
• Docker images and containers cleanup
• Cleanup other things that hog the storage
