Garbage collect `./result*` symlinks using Nix #nix

nix-gc

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# if no argument is passed in, we use the current directory
dir="${1:-.}"
while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do
  store_path="$(readlink "$file")"
  rm --verbose "$file"
  nix-store --delete "$store_path"
done < <(find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -type l -lname '/nix/store/*' -print0)

This should be turned into an application that can be installed it seems quite useful to alot of people.

Also this should be renamed nix-build-gc.

This is now a repo: https://github.com/MatrixAI/nix-build-gc
