PkgCleanup

Build Status

The Pkg.gc() command garbage collects packages and artifacts that are no longer reachable, but will not touch existing packages or artifacts requested by existing active environments, which are listed in your ~/.julia/logs directory. One option for a more deep cleaning is to run ]gc --all, but this will remove... well... all packages.

If you prefer a more controlled way to clean package installations in your Julia depot, you can remove the undesired manifests lingering in ~/.julia/logs. PkgCleanup.jl provides a couple of functions which let you interactively remove active environments or artifacts you do not care about any longer but cannot be removed by Pkg.gc().

Installation

To install the package, enter the Julia Pkg REPL mode with ] and run the command

add https://github.com/giordano/PkgCleanup.jl

Usage

To load the package, run in the Julia REPL the command

using PkgCleanup

PkgCleanup.jl provides the following interactive functions:

  • PkgCleanup.artifacts(): to remove unneeded Artifacts.toml from your ~/.julia/logs/artifact_usage.toml;
  • PkgCleanup.manifests(): to remove unneeded Manifest.toml from your ~/.julia/logs/manifest_usage.toml.

Execute the following line in your terminal to create a temp environment, install this package, and then clean up everything:

julia --startup-file=no --project=$(mktemp -d) -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add(; url="https://github.com/giordano/PkgCleanup.jl"); using PkgCleanup, Dates; PkgCleanup.artifacts(); PkgCleanup.manifests(); Pkg.gc(; collect_delay=Dates.Day(0))'

Demo

NOTE: deselect the entries you want to remove.

julia> using PkgCleanup

julia> PkgCleanup.manifests()
Select the Manifest.toml to keep in /home/user/.julia/logs/manifest_usage.toml
[press: d=done, a=all, n=none]
^  [X] /home/user/.julia/dev/BinaryBuilder/benchmark/Manifest.toml
   [X] /home/user/.julia/dev/JLLWrappers/Manifest.toml
   [X] /home/user/.julia/dev/PhysicalConstants/Manifest.toml
   [X] /home/user/.julia/dev/PkgCleanup/Manifest.toml
   [ ] /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.0/Manifest.toml
   [ ] /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.3/Manifest.toml
   [ ] /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.4/Manifest.toml
 > [ ] /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.5/Manifest.toml
   [X] /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.6/Manifest.toml
v  [X] /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.7/Manifest.toml

You are going to remove the following entries in /home/user/.julia/logs/manifest_usage.toml:
  * /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.0/Manifest.toml
  * /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.3/Manifest.toml
  * /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.4/Manifest.toml
  * /home/user/.julia/environments/v1.5/Manifest.toml
Do you confirm your choice? [Y/n]: y

To actually cleanup packages/artifacts installations, remember to run

    using Pkg
    Pkg.gc()

or, for a more in-depth cleaning,

    using Pkg
    using Dates
    Pkg.gc(; collect_delay=Dates.Day(0))
