An inventory of every file in a folder with its size and content fingerprint, with common secrets and caches left out.
About
After a script moves or rewrites files, it is hard to prove what changed and what stayed the same. This builds a file inventory with sizes and content fingerprints, so you can compare a folder before and after a run.
It skips common secrets and caches while it builds the inventory. Review the list before you share it.
It runs from the command line and needs Python 3.10 or later. It pairs with the Build your first useful automation guide, where a manifest taken before and after shows whether a repeat run damaged or duplicated work. Provider accounts, model weights, GPU compute and hosting are not included.
Requirements
- Runs with
- Python 3.10+
