## Project history and usage

dskDitto is a Go duplicate-file detector built around parallel scanning and an interactive terminal interface, with an optional experimental GUI. It can verify content with SHA-256 or BLAKE3 and offers guarded deletion, symlink conversion, filtering, and machine-readable export.

### Project history

The official GitHub repository was created in June 2021. Its first GitHub release record is v0.5.6, published in May 2026, after the codebase had developed a parallel walk, staged hashing pipeline, TUI, optional GUI, and multiple scan modes.

### Adoption history

The official README supports installation directly with Go, and the supplied package metadata records a Homebrew formula. Its adoption footprint is that of a focused command-line utility rather than a platform or library.

### How it is used

Users run dskDitto with one or more filesystem paths. The default experience scans for duplicates and opens a Bubble Tea terminal UI; flags select filters, hashing behavior, text or structured output, destructive operations, and the optional Raylib GUI.

### Why package nerds care

dskDitto is notable to utility collectors for combining a modern TUI with a staged duplicate-detection pipeline: size grouping, sample hashing, and full hashing reduce unnecessary I/O, while Go installation and Homebrew packaging keep deployment simple.

### Timeline

- 2021-06: Official GitHub repository created.
- 2026-05: v0.5.6 published as the repository's first GitHub release record.

### Related projects

- The implementation uses Bubble Tea and Lip Gloss for its terminal UI, Raylib for its optional GUI, and BLAKE3 as an alternative content hash.
