dfind.py is a command-line tool for finding duplicate files between two folders by comparing their SHA256 hashes. It uses the rich library to display progress and formatted output.
- Compares files in two folders recursively
- Supports limiting search depth
- Detects duplicates based on file content (hashes)
- Optionally shows files that are unique to each folder
- Beautiful terminal output with
rich
python dfind.py folder1 folder2 [options]| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-l, --max-depth |
Set maximum directory depth to scan |
-u, --unique |
Show files that are unique to each folder |
Compare two folders for duplicates:
python dfind.py /path/to/folder1 /path/to/folder2Compare two folders but only up to 2 levels deep:
python dfind.py folder1 folder2 -l 2Show duplicates and also list unique files:
python dfind.py folder1 folder2 --uniqueInstall dependencies:
pip install rich psutil- Recursively collects file paths from both folders.
- Computes SHA256 hash of each file.
- Matches files with the same hash.
- Displays results in a rich-formatted table.
- Duplicate Files: Pairs of files with identical content.
- Unique Files (optional): Files only found in one folder.
