history
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.
