🌱 Uproot

A CLI utility for Debian-based systems to visualize and purge large packages across APT, Snap, Flatpak, and Docker ecosystems simultaneously.

Linux package management is often fragmented. Uproot aggregates installed package sizes from dpkg-query, snap, and flatpak into a single, normalized list, allowing for unified sorting and removal via an fzf interface.

Compatibility Note: This tool relies on apt and dpkg. It is strictly for Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Kali, and other Debian derivatives.

Installation

One-line install:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a1xon/uproot/master/install.sh | sudo bash

Manual Install:

1. Copy uproot to /usr/local/bin/.
2. chmod +x /usr/local/bin/uproot.

Dependencies

• Recommended: fzf (for interactive TUI).
• Falls back to read loop/ID selection if fzf is absent.

Usage

Run as root:

sudo uproot

Controls (fzf mode):

• TAB: Toggle selection
• ENTER: Confirm selection
• ESC: Quit

Disclaimer

This tool executes apt purge, snap remove, flatpak uninstall, and docker system prune. Review all selections carefully before confirming.
