Clean up your developer workstation

Free disk space on your development workstation by cleaning some caches

OSX/Brew

brew cleanup

Alternative:

update all formulas and then remove old ones

brew update && brew upgrade && brew cleanup

Docker

docker system prune -a
docker image prune --all --filter until=240h

Node related

yarn cache clean
npm cache clean --force
nvm cache clear

Have a look at out your ~/.nvm/versions/node directory and delete all the versions you won't use anymore. This can save several gigabytes :)

Delete all node_modules older than 3 months

find . -name "node_modules" -type d -mtime +90 | xargs rm -rf

XCode

Remove old simulators

xcrun simctl delete unavailable

Clean up caches:

rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
rm -rf ~~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS Device Logs/

PHP

composer clear-cache

Ruby

rvm cleanup all
