Well, this ended up being easier than I'd expected to implement with coreutils. | |
Wrapped it up into a little script that sorts by count and removes anything with only 1 result (like files). | |
Should be pretty easy to also add in a `du -sh` to get sizes if one wanted. Currently it runs in <2s on that 500,000 line file on my M1 Mac. Sharing in case useful for anyone else. | |
```bash | |
#!/usr/bin/env bash | |
# treecount.sh https://gist.github.com/a7c3b48eb971f662c03e9da17ecb9ea4 | |
# | |
# Given an input file of paths as $1, counts the number of subfiles for each | |
# directory Useful for determining what directories are most frequently changes | |
# and might be good candidates for exclusion for restic backups (like caches | |
# that don't have a `CACHEDIR.TAG`) | |
# | |
# USAGE: `$ ./treecount.sh changes.txt` | |
# | |
# changes.txt should be a list of file paths without duplicates (`sort -u` is | |
# your friend) no other content. For my use case, I use `restic snapshots` to | |
# get a list of snapshots, and with a little processing run `restic diff` on | |
# each of those snapshots to get a list of modified files. I then filter out | |
# lines that do not start with `-`, `+`, or `M` (which indicate removals, | |
# additions, and modifications, respectively) and then deduplicate the | |
# resulting output. | |
# | |
# By default anything with less than 2 results is not included in the output of | |
# this script. | |
# | |
# nb4 I know the grep and sort could be done in awk, but grep and sort sure | |
# make it easy, don't they? | |
