Can just be done in a simple script:
touch -t 2003011200 some_file
find ~ -name "node_modules" ! -newer some_file -exec sh -c 'echo removing $1; rm "$1"' sh {} ';'
Hi, @jneidel I completely agree. But generating timestamps is not that intuitive and this removes all such dirs but with Autarky you can select only those you want to delete. And this works only with UNIX based system as windows don't support bash scripting out of the box.
From readme
the majority of the storage is occupied by node_modules
If this is your problem, you are fixing the symptom not the root cause. Migrating to pnpm (shared storage for dependencies) would be a better solution (in my eyes).
Found a few spelling mistakes:
Enter the time in months. Node modules older than the given time will be sowed.
*showed
In today's world storage is comparatively costlier than compute.
*computation.
And there probably are lots more.

Just write a small wrapper script around it that takes easier to read date input and confirms deletion.

People on windows aren't using CLIs, otherwise they wouldn't be using windows.

Will fix that. Thanks

True. But not all have migrated to pnpm.

The idea is to solve this for others

Can't comment on that :)
