- 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}}`
