I Built cleaner-cli: A Blazingly Fast Rust Tool to Clean Up Developer Junk

#showdev #rust #cli #opensource 

If you're a developer, chances are your disk is silently being eaten up by leftovers like `node_modules`, Rust `target` folders, `.cache`, and `dist` build artifacts. 

To solve this for myself, I built **cleaner-cli** — a fast, lightweight, and open-source CLI tool written in Rust to help you reclaim your storage space in seconds! 🧹

## 🔥 Features

- **Blazingly Fast:** Written in Rust for maximum efficiency and low resource usage.
- **Dry-Run Mode:** Test what will be deleted without touching any files.
- **Easy Execution:** Sweep out build clutter with a single command.
- **Cross-Platform:** Works wherever Rust runs!

## ⚡ Quick Start

Installing `cleaner-cli` is super simple via Cargo:

### Dry Run (Preview Mode)

See how much space you can reclaim safely:
