giles-corey v1.0.0

More Weight!

Linux and OS X Only

A classy NPM package that tells you how much of your hard drive is being taken up by node_modules directories.

This is some high end bespoke stuff built at the request of @mrspeaker who quipped:

What % of your hard drive lives in node_modules

Thanks to this repo, finding out is as easy as:

npm install -g giles-corey
giles-corey

Output is the total space taken up by all node_modules folders residing within your home directory. Calculating the percentage is left as an exercise for the user.

Only 100G of node_modules? More weight!

If you don't want to install this module and would instead prefer to run a one line shell command here's the secret sauce:

find ~/ -name node_modules -type d | xargs du -ch

Giles Corey was an 81 year old man who was crushed to death with stones in Salem Massachusetts after he was suspected of being a witch. He was memorialized in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible".
