Introduction

Twintrimmer is a project designed to automatically remove duplicate files
specially those created by downloading in a browser.

Modivation
-----------

Relatively often I find that I download a file multiple times using Chrome
or Firefox and they rather than over writing the file "``<filename>.<ext>``"
will name the newest copy "``<filename> (#).<ext>``" I built this tool to
automatically remove duplicate versions by comparing the names and then
validating the content with a checksum.


Usage
-------

usage: twintrim [-h] [-n] [-r] [--verbosity VERBOSITY]
[--log-file LOG_FILE] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL]
[-p PATTERN] [-c] [-i]
[--hash-function {'sha224', 'sha384', 'sha1', 'md5', 'sha512', 'sha256'}
[--make-links] [--remove-links]
path

tool for removing duplicate files

positional arguments:
path path to check

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-n, --no-action show what files would have been deleted
-r, --recursive search directories recursively
--verbosity VERBOSITY
set print debug level
--log-file LOG_FILE write to log file.
--log-level LOG_LEVEL
set log file debug level
-p PATTERN, --pattern PATTERN
set filename matching regex
-c, --only-checksum toggle searching by checksum rather than name first
-i, --interactive ask for file deletion interactively
--hash-function
{'sha224', 'sha384', 'sha1', 'md5', 'sha512', 'sha256'}
set hash function to use for checksums
--make-link create hard link rather than remove file
--remove-links remove hardlinks rather than skipping
--version show program's version number and exit



Examples
==========

find matches with default regex::

$ twintrim -n ~/downloads

find matches ignoring the extension::

$ ls examples/
Google.html Google.html~
$ twintrim -n -p '(^.+?)(?: \(\d\))*\..+' examples/
examples/Google.html~ would have been deleted

find matches with "__1" added to basename::

$ ls examples/underscore/
file__1.txt file.txt
$ twintrim -n -p '(.+?)(?:__\d)*\..*' examples/underscore/
examples/underscore/file__1.txt to be deleted



Try it out
============

If you would like to try it out I have included an example directory. After
cloning the repository, try running::

python -m twintrimmer examples/


Running the Tests
------------------

Unit tests
=============

To run tests::

python -m unittest discover -p '*_test.py'

or using nose::

python3 -m nose --with-json-extended

:note: pyfakefs is not being updated on pypi and should be installed directly
from the github repository, due to issues with pyfakefs and python3 in
the pypi version

command to install pyfakefs::

pip install git+https://github.com/jmcgeheeiv/pyfakefs

Code coverage
===============

To show the test coverage::

python -m nose --with-coverage --cover-package twintrimmer.twintrimmer

Behavior tests
===============

To run tests::

Miscellaneous
----------------

Hash algorithm options
=======================

Depending on your installed OpenSSL library your available algorithms might change.

The following are the hash algorithms guaranteed to be supported by this
module on all platforms.

- sha224
- sha384
- sha1
- md5
- sha512
- sha256

Additionally, these algorithms might be available (potentially more)

- ecdsa-with-SHA1
- whirlpool
- dsaWithSHA
- ripemd160
- md4

For more information on these algorithms please see the hashlib documentation:
