I see a couple of problems here.
-
Separating the
findcommands with&&means that the subsequent ones will only run if the last one had an exitcode == 0. That might not always be the case. -
Lots of forking (
find->find->find->find->xargs). That could be simplified and done without any pipes:
find . \( -name ".git" -o -name ".gitignore" -o -name ".gitmodules" -o -name ".gitattributes" \) -exec rm -rf -- {} +
Great! Thank you!
smart guys!
