# Drupal Cleanup
List and clean up cloned drupal.org repositories in `~/.cache/drupal-contrib/`.
## ⚠️ Side Effect Warning
**Removing a repository permanently deletes the local clone** including:
- All branches not pushed to issue forks
- Any uncommitted changes
- Local-only commits
**The skill checks for uncommitted changes and unpushed branches before deletion and requires explicit user confirmation.** Once deleted, the repository must be re-cloned.
## Usage
- "List my cloned drupal.org repos"
- "Remove the paragraphs repository from my local cache"
- "Clean up all drupal contrib repos"
- `/drupal-cleanup` — List all repos
- `/drupal-cleanup list` — List with details
- `/drupal-cleanup {project}` — Remove specific project
- `/drupal-cleanup --all` — Remove all cloned repos
## Environment Detection
### Tier 1 — Portable (Claude Desktop, Codex, any environment)
When Bash tools are unavailable:
**For listing**:
1. Ask user to run: `ls -la ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/` and share output
2. Provide analysis and recommendations based on shared output
3. Guide cleanup decisions
**For removal (requires Bash in Tier 2)**:
- Provide the exact commands for user to run manually with explanations
### Tier 2 — Claude Code Enhanced
When running in Claude Code with Bash available:
**Listing repos**:
```bash
# Check if cache directory exists
ls -la ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No repos cloned yet"
# Get size and details of each project
for dir in ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/*/; do
project=$(basename "$dir")
size=$(du -sh "$dir" 2>/dev/null | cut -f1)
branches=$(cd "$dir" && git branch | wc -l)
status=$(cd "$dir" && git status --short | wc -l)
echo "$project | $size | $branches branches | $status modified files"
done
```
**Removing specific project**:
1. Check for uncommitted changes: `cd ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/{project} && git status --short`
2. Check for unpushed branches: `git log --branches --not --remotes --oneline | wc -l`
3. **Present findings to user**
4. **⛔ STOP: Warn about irreversible deletion and require confirmation**:
```
⚠️ This will permanently delete ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/{project}/
Status: {uncommitted changes / unpushed commits if any}
Reply "yes" to proceed, "no" to cancel.
```
5. **After "yes" confirmation only**: `rm -rf ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/{project}/`
**Removing all repos**:
1. Show summary: all projects, total size, any with uncommitted work
2. **⛔ STOP: Require explicit confirmation**:
```
⚠️ This will permanently delete ALL repos in ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/:
{list of projects with their sizes}
Total: {X} MB across {N} projects
{Warning if any have uncommitted changes}
Reply "yes, delete all" to proceed, or "no" to cancel.
```
3. **After "yes, delete all" confirmation only**: `rm -rf ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/`
## Listing Output Format
```markdown
**Cloned Drupal.org Repositories**
Location: ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/
| Project | Size | Branches | Modified | Status |
|---------|------|----------|----------|--------|
| paragraphs | 45 MB | 3 | 2 days ago | Clean |
| webform | 120 MB | 1 | 1 week ago | Clean |
| easy_lqp | 12 MB | 2 | Today | ⚠️ Modified |
**Total**: 177 MB across 3 projects
**To remove a repo**: Use the drupal-cleanup skill with the project name
**To remove all**: Use the drupal-cleanup skill with --all flag
```
## Safety Checks
Before any deletion, this skill checks:
1. **Uncommitted changes** — Modified files not yet staged
2. **Unstaged files** — New files not tracked by git
3. **Unpushed branches** — Local commits not pushed to issue fork
If any are found, the user is warned before proceeding.
## When to Clean Up
Consider cleaning up when:
- An MR has been merged
- You're done contributing to a project
- Disk space is low
- You want a fresh start
**Before cleanup, ensure**:
- All branches are pushed to issue forks on git.drupalcode.org
- No uncommitted changes exist
- MRs are in stable state
## Re-cloning After Cleanup
```bash
# Via drupal-mr skill (re-clones automatically):
# "Create MR for {project} issue {number}"
# Or manually:
git clone git@git.drupal.org:project/{project}.git ~/.cache/drupal-contrib/{project}
```
