Introduction

rmcache is a CLI tool that helps you quickly clean up frontend project junk files and cache directories. It's perfect for freeing up disk space or preparing your project for sharing.

Installation

npx rmcache

Command Options

| Option | Description | Example | |--------|-------------|---------| | [framework] | Specify framework to clean only framework-related cache files. Currently supports nuxt | rmcache nuxt | | -c, --cwd <path> | Specify working directory to clean junk files in | rmcache -c /path/to/project | | --lock | Include lock files in cleanup (not included by default) | rmcache --lock | | --help | Display help information | rmcache --help | | --version | Display version number | rmcache --version |

Usage Examples

Clean Current Project

Run the command in your project directory to clean all junk files:

npx rmcache

Clean Lock Files

By default, lock files are NOT cleaned. Use the --lock flag to include them:

npx rmcache --lock

Clean Specific Framework

Clean cache files for a specific framework. Currently supports nuxt:

npx rmcache nuxt

When using framework mode, rmcache will only clean:

• node_modules - dependencies
• .nuxt - Nuxt cache directory
• .output - Nuxt build output

This mode is useful for monorepos where you only want to clean Nuxt-related files.
