# rmlint
> Identify duplicate files or directories, and other filesystem issues.
> More information: <https://rmlint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rmlint.1.html>.
- Check a directory for duplicates, empty files, and other issues:
`rmlint {{path/to/directory}}`
- Delete duplicate files found by an execution of `rmlint`:
`./rmlint.sh`
- Find duplicate directory trees:
`rmlint --merge-directories {{path/to/directory}}`
- Mark files at lower path [d]epth as originals:
`rmlint --rank-by={{d}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Mark files with shortest name [l]ength as originals:
`rmlint --rank-by={{l}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Find only duplicates that have the same filename in addition to the same contents:
`rmlint --match-basename {{path/to/directory}}`
- Find all duplicates with the same extension:
`rmlint --match-extension {{path/to/directory}}`
