File Duplicate Finder

A CLI tool to help you find and manage duplicate files in a directory. This tool also provides functionality to list all files in a directory and its subdirectories.

How to Use

Step 0: Create the Docker Image

Build the Docker image for the project:

docker build -t file-duplicate-finder .

Step 1: Run the Docker Container

Run the Docker container, mounting the directory you want to analyze:

docker run -it -v "path/to/your/directory:/app/directory" file-duplicate-finder

Replace path/to/your/directory with the absolute path to the directory on your host machine.

Step 2: Use the CLI Tool

You can now use the dup-finder CLI tool to manage files in the mounted directory.
