Nice! Thanks.
If you want this to work with file & directory names that have whitespace in them you can change the delimiter to '\n':
( find . -type d -name ".git" && find . -name ".gitignore" && find . -name ".gitmodules" ) | xargs -d '\n' rm -rfSince MacOS High Sierra 10.13+ has an installed xargs that doesn't support the -d argument, you can use -0 in its place.
( find . -type d -name ".git" && find . -name ".gitignore" && find . -name ".gitmodules" ) | xargs -0 rm -rfThanks. I added .gitattributes
`( find . -type d -name ".git" && find . -name ".gitignore" && find . -name ".gitmodules" && find . -name ".gitattributes" ) | xargs rm -rf
I see a couple of problems here.
-
Separating the
findcommands with&&means that the subsequent ones will only run if the last one had an exitcode == 0. That might not always be the case. -
Lots of forking (
find->find->find->find->xargs). That could be simplified and done without any pipes:
find . \( -name ".git" -o -name ".gitignore" -o -name ".gitmodules" -o -name ".gitattributes" \) -exec rm -rf -- {} +
Great! Thank you!
