Duplicate file finder

2013-08-02 23:01:10.152483+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Discussion on the Chugalug mailing list about finding duplicated files, I thought for a moment, whipped up this, and then realized it'd be generally useful when I got home.

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | perl -nale 'print "$lastfile is the same as $F[1]" if ($F[0] eq $lastmd5); ($lastmd5, $lastfile) = @F;'

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
