Crow

Crow is a lightweight command-line tool designed to help developers reclaim valuable disk space by identifying and deleting unnecessary build files. This utility efficiently scans for build files in specified directories and offers an easy way to remove them, ensuring your development environment remains clean and more space left for your video games.

Installation

1. Download the app file from the release page.
2. Set the appropriate PowerShell policy to run the installer:
   • Run Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser in the shell.
3. Unzip the downloaded file and navigate to the unzipped directory.
4. Run .\setup.ps1:
   • Right click on the file and select Run with PowerShell
   • This will copy the .exe file to C:\Users\Public\Pienteger\ and add it to the PATH.
5. Re-open the Command Prompt, PowerShell, or terminal.
6. Run crow help to verify the installation.

Caution

To set the execution policy, you may need to run the shell as an admin.
