Built a duplicate file finder in Java, here's how it works

Описание и применение

DupeLens — Java CLI, MIT-licensed — находит дубликаты файлов по размеру и SHA-256, выводит в терминал и генерирует HTML-отчёт; не удаляет файлы.

Задача

Need a way to identify duplicate files in a directory without risking accidental deletion of important files.

Результат

DupeLens finds duplicate files by size pre-filtering and SHA-256 content hashing, reports duplicates in terminal and as an optional HTML report, and does not modify files.

Рабочий процесс

• Check file sizes; skip comparison if sizes differ.
• For files with matching sizes, compute SHA-256 checksums to compare contents.
• Display duplicate groups in the terminal.
• Optionally generate an HTML report via --html flag.

Доказательства

It's basically a Java CLI that finds duplicate files in your folders and generates an HTML report.

Источник

First, it checks file sizes. If two files have different sizes, there's no reason to compare them further.

Источник

For files with matching sizes, it uses SHA-256 to check whether their contents are identical.

Источник

Once it's done, it shows the duplicates in the terminal. You can also generate an HTML report if you want something easier to look through.

Источник

It doesn't delete, move, or modify your files.

You'll need Java 17 or newer.

Download the JAR from GitHub and run: java -jar dupelens.jar ./your-folder --html report.html

Just released v1.0.0, so it's still pretty early.
