Purpose: dskDitto is a duplicate-file detector with interactive terminal and graphical interfaces.
Scanning: It uses parallel processing to scan for duplicate files across disks.
Hashing: Content verification uses SHA-256 by default, with BLAKE3 available as an option.
Filtering: Scan options can filter by size, depth, hidden files, symlinks, virtual filesystems, and filesystem boundaries.
Duplicate actions: With an explicit remove option, users can delete extra copies or replace them with symlinks or reflinks.
Reflink limits: Reflink conversion requires a supported copy-on-write filesystem; the README names APFS, Btrfs, and XFS with reflink enabled.
Exports: Duplicate results can be exported to CSV, JSON, or plain text.
GUI status: The Raylib GUI is optional and experimental; the default installation builds the CLI/TUI only.
Safety: The README says the tool does not delete or rewrite files unless the user explicitly requests it with --remove.
Security policy: The security policy lists version 0.5.x as supported and directs vulnerability reports by email or GitHub issue.
License: The project is released under the Apache license.
Intended users: The maintainer says the project is developed in spare time and needs new contributors.
Maker profile: The GitHub profile identifies the maker as Joey DeFrancesco and lists MIT and Cambridge.
