This may or may not be what you are looking for.
I couldn't find anything quite like this when I searched, so I figured I would make this public in case anyone else might find it helpful/useful. Most of these entries were taken from a hastily-written Python script to attempt to find common junk files. I made this because I needed to rsync a ton of data which itself mostly originated from various linux full system backups, and I really did not need most of the files inside dotfolders like $HOME/.config
, but definitely wanted some of them, and could not find the time to actually sit and figure out what/which to keep. So, here we are. Oh, and at the last moment I could swear some of the "*cache*
" folders were being sent still, so... I got a little annoyed and just copied the list, converted it to lower case, then permuted it a few more ways, and plopped it back in to be extra thorough. 😅 Also, this list began with a .gitignore_global
I keep, so that's why its starts off much more organized and morphs into chaos. 🧙🏼♂️
