Detect Duplicate Files

What problem does it solve?

Scans a workspace to identify content-identical copies of files using SHA256 hashes, helping reduce redundancy, confusion, and wasted storage.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Duplicate detection: Detects groups of files with identical content across the workspace.
• Reporting: Generates a human-readable DUPLICATE_REPORT.md summarizing groups, sizes, and locations.
• Use Case: Clean up forks or copy-pasted assets in large repos to reclaim disk space and simplify maintenance.

Quick Start

Run the scan in the current directory to produce a DUPLICATE_REPORT.md in the .forensics folder and review the found duplicates.
