Need smaller repo

Open randomascii opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

The altWinDirStat repo is 294 MB which is enormous for the source code to a tool. The size comes almost entirely from 95 MB of docs (and the .git packed versions of those files). Consider creating a repo that is more minimal, with the docs in a separate repo for those who care?

Literally the first thing I did after cloning this repo was run WinDirStat to find out why it was so bloated.

Wow, cool to see you use WinDirStat in general, @randomascii . I've been an avid reader of your blog, especially about those ETW topics and the wasted megawatts ;)

Always good to meet a reader. And of course I use WinDirStat - don't all wise people use it? Most recently I used it to discover this wastage, and others:

So thanks for your work on it.
