> A tool to remove unused imports and variables from Python code.
> More information: <https://github.com/myint/autoflake>.

- Remove unused variables from a single file and display the diff:

`autoflake --remove-unused-variables {{file.py}}`

- Remove unused imports from multiple files and display the diffs:

`autoflake --remove-all-unused-imports {{file1.py}} {{file2.py}} {{file3.py}}`

- Remove unused variables from a file, overwriting the file:

`autoflake --remove-unused-variables --in-place {{file.py}}`

- Remove unused variables recursively from all files in a directory, overwriting each file:

`autoflake --remove-unused-variables --in-place --recursive {{path/to/directory}}`
