repoclean-cli 0.4.0

Repo hygiene scanner and fixer (junk files, secrets, gitignore).

repoclean

A repo hygiene CLI tool to scan repositories for common junk artifacts, detect secret/token patterns, and optionally install a git pre-commit hook to prevent leaks.

Why repoclean exists

Most developers (especially students) accidentally commit junk and sensitive files at least once:

• __pycache__/, *.pyc, venv/, node_modules/
• .env files
• API keys/tokens and private keys

These mistakes are common, embarrassing, and sometimes expensive.

repoclean is a small CLI tool meant to be run before pushing to GitHub. It helps you quickly:

• spot repo hygiene issues
• detect secret/token patterns
• block accidental leaks via an optional git pre-commit hook
