RepoSweep Changelog

0.7.4

September 28, 2026

Elixir and Terraform support.
See how much space the items RepoSweep moved still take up in the Trash, in the summary bar and the menu bar, with a reminder after each cleanup to empty the Trash.
When you check items, the side panel summarizes your selection, including a per-project list.
“Open in Terminal” and “Copy Path” for projects, and “Copy Path” for each item.
The cleanup confirmation warns you when a project was active recently, since you'll need to reinstall or rebuild before working on it again.
If you add a location or remove a folder from the ignore list during a scan, RepoSweep scans again when it finishes.

Redesigned Settings with three panes: General, Scanning and Cleanup Rules. Locations and the ignore list now live together under Scanning.
Search cleanup rules by ecosystem, rule or folder, and optionally show only the ecosystems in your projects.
Onboarding has a fixed size, and the window grows to full size once you add your first location.
Esc closes the Cleanup History window. While you're searching, it clears the search first.

Folders RepoSweep can't read are never offered for cleanup or moved.
RepoSweep can usually still put an item back when macOS doesn't report where it placed it in the Trash. If it can't find the item, History marks it “Location Unknown” so you can put it back from the Trash in Finder.
Each item is logged the moment it's moved or put back, so an interrupted cleanup still leaves an accurate history.
RepoSweep warns you when it can't read its cleanup log or couldn't record an item.

Cleanup History groups items by cleanup, with filters, search and “Put Back All”.
Cleanup Rules in Settings are grouped by ecosystem, show how much space each rule's folders take, and can be switched per ecosystem.
Project details show how a project's source code splits across languages.
An “All Projects” button takes you back to the overview; Esc works from the project list.

The app responds to clicks right away during a scan.
The cleanup confirmation flags items whose Git status couldn't be read, so you can check before emptying the Trash.
Cleaning a project is disabled while a scan or cleanup is running.
Ecosystem filters are ordered by how many projects use them.

An item is no longer shown as in the Trash after something else took its name there.

C & C++ (CMake) and CocoaPods support.
Filter projects by ecosystem from the sidebar.
The summary bar shows scan progress.

The prequel, 0001-2026

A homemade command-line tool that did the job and looked exactly like it. Then it seemed a shame not to make it nice to look at, and to share it with everyone else whose disk is full of node_modules.
