#cleanABag - A CLI tool to clean your (walla)bag

Official repository and project is on sourcehut. Github and codeberg are only mirrors. This is where binaries are uploaded.

cleanABag is a CLI tool for removing articles older than a given date from wallabag.

The goal is to avoid wasted storage of 100s or 1000s of articles that aren't needed in wallabag anymore.

To install, either download a binary from the release page or via the result of an automated build.

Or manually (you need go >= 1.17 and make):

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~bacardi55/cleanABag
cd cleanABag
make dependencies
make build

The binary will be in the bin directory.
