wtf is gitcleaner?

GitCleaner is a tool that helps you clear out leftover Python cache folders that tend to pile up in your code projects. When you're working on a project and switching between different versions or branches, your computer automatically creates these temporary folders called "__pycache__" to help things run faster. Over time, they can clutter up your workspace, and this tool gives you a quick way to wipe them all out at once. The tool works as a command inside your code editor. You press a keyboard shortcut (control-shift-p) to open a search bar, type "Remove Pycache," and hit enter. The tool then searches through your project and deletes every folder that contains "__pycache__," cleaning up the clutter without you having to hunt down and delete each one manually. This is designed for people working on Python projects that are undergoing significant changes or refactoring. The creator notes that these cache folders become especially common when there's a big gap between different branches of your project. If you're a developer or project manager juggling multiple versions of a Python codebase and noticing these folders accumulating, this tool offers a straightforward way to tidy things up. One thing to note is that the documentation is quite brief and specific. The tool focuses on removing Python cache folders and is described as being "only for projects under refactoring." If you're dealing with other types of clutter or different programming languages, this tool may not cover those needs, but for its narrow purpose of clearing Python cache, it provides a quick and targeted solution.
