List matching directories by file count.
Includes nested directories in file count but does not list child directories with same name.
I wanted to find out the biggest node_modules folders on my system, ordered from largest to smallest. I also didn't want to show seperate entries for nested node_modules folders.
Say you have the following structure
/myapp/
node_modules/
somePkg
node_modules/
somePkg2
node_modules/
/myapp2/
node_modules/
somePkg
node_modules/
/myapp3/
node_modules/
somePkg
Run this command to find all your largest node_modules directories and sort by size (and don't show nested children.)
folderz node_modules
Result
55 files in /myapp/node_modules
44 files in /myapp2/node_modules
33 files in /myapp3/node_modules
# GET
git clone https://github.com/lukeaus/folderz.git
cd folderz
# or copy folderz file and paste on your computer
# MAKE EXECUTABLE
chmod +x folderz
# RUN
./folderz some-search-term
# or add folderz to your PATH then
folderz some-search-term
folderz [-d|--dir <arg>] [-p|--paths_only <arg>] [-q|--add_quotes <arg>] [-h|--help] <search_term>
Find all the parent node_modules folders in your home directory and return sorted results
folderz node_modules -d ~
Find all the parent node_modules folders in your home directory and return sorted paths only
folderz node_modules -d ~ -p
Find all the build folders in your apps directory
folderz build -d ~/apps
