xdg-ninja is a shell script that checks for unwanted files and directories in the user’s home directory and suggests moving them to an appropriate location. The script uses a configuration file that contains rules for identifying unwanted files and directories. The configurations are from the arch wiki page on XDG_BASE_DIR, antidot, and contributions from other users. The script can be run manually by cloning the repository and running the xdg-ninja.sh script or installed with Homebrew. Optional dependencies include glow for rendering Markdown in the terminal. The script is available on GitHub. The tool has been discussed on Reddit and Hacker News.
Can’t you just clone it and run the command?
I can. I just was more interested in learning about a new package manager, rather than the main topic of the post.
I have done so (git clone) with Gentoo and it works.
“if you don’t know what this does, run it and see what happens” seems like rather terrible advice to me.
Yes, but that wasn’t my advice.
Ofc I would not recommens this to a newbie; but I think Comment OP can inspect the script themselves (as it is right there on Github).
