Removing duplicates from multiple directories(more than 2 paths) using rmlint or another tool

Question

I am trying to remove duplicated files and folders from several directories, and I was wondering if rmlint supports inputting multiple directories (I know you can use two directories if one of them is set as the reference). If not, have anyone found a fast and efficient cli tool to go through large directories?

I cleaned it up. Basically, I can use `rmlint dir1 dir2, dir3` ? — ricardo3889, Mar 07 '23 at 13:56

Yes, it is possible to invoke rmlint with multiple input directories:

rmlint dir1 dir2 dir3

rmlint will generate a shell script that you can then execute to perform the deletion:

./rmlint.sh

Can it also invoke multiple reference directories? – ricardo3889 Mar 07 '23 at 14:48
