Pruning useless node_modules with bash userland tools (find etc)

node-prune.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
find node_modules \( -name '__tests__' -o \
-name 'test' -o \
-name 'tests' -o \
-name 'powered-test' -o \
-name 'docs' -o \
-name 'doc' -o \
-name '.idea' -o \
-name '.vscode' -o \
-name 'website' -o \
-name 'images' -o \
-name 'assets' -o \
-name 'example' -o \
-name 'examples' -o \
-name 'coverage'-o \
-name '.nyc_output' -o \
-name "*.md" -o \
-name "*.ts" -o \
-name "*.jst" -o \
-name "*.coffee" -o \
-name "*.tgz" \) -exec rm -rf {} \;

@themanifold, please replace | xargs rm -rf into --delete.

I'd modified this like that
find ... | grep -v "/dist" | xargs rm -rf
you shouldn't be removing anything inside dist folder, it will break some packages, most notably ones that generate HTML's and stuff. For me it was mochawesome-report-generator (which contains "assets" in its "dist" folder) and some shitty react datepicker module, I believe
