Tools

ArtifactClean (artclean)

artclean is a high-performance, recursive cleaning tool for .NET projects. It identifies and removes bin and obj directories across your workspace to reclaim disk space or ensure a clean state for your builds.

By default, it automatically executes dotnet restore after cleaning to bring your projects back to a ready-to-build state.

Key Features

• Fast Recursion: Efficiently scans directories while ignoring reparse points.
• Deep Clean: Removes both bin and obj folders.
• Auto-Restore: Automatically runs dotnet restore to minimize downtime (can be disabled).
• Native AOT: Built with Native AOT for minimal startup time and zero dependencies.

Installation

dotnet tool install --global Invex.Tools.ArtifactClean

Usage

# In the repo you want to clean
artclean

# Or specify arguments / options:
artclean [path] [options]

Arguments:

• path: The root directory to begin the recursive search. [Default: current directory]

Options:

• -n, --no-restore: Skips the dotnet restore operation after cleaning.
• -v, --verbose: Enables verbose output during the cleaning process.

Repository Structure

• Invex.Tools.ArtifactClean: Source code for the artclean tool.
• _atom: The Atom build system project used for CI/CD and automation.
