Knip: An Automated Tool For Finding Unused Files, Exports, And Dependencies


No matter the project, it's common to have a few unused files, exports, and dependencies that go unnoticed. And if they do get noticed, fear of removing something still in use might keep you from tidying it up.


Lars Kappert has developed a handy tool called Knip that comes to the rescue.


Knip is designed to scan projects and identify unused artifacts, making it easier to clean up and optimize your projects. With Knip, you can confidently remove unnecessary files and dependencies and streamline your codebase. Your project's future coders will thank you for it.
