fclones
- Fclones: Parallel duplicate files finder in Rust with reflink support
- Fclones: Efficient Duplicate File Finder
- fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
-
Deduplication at file level
Install fclones (fdupes modern equivalent)
- A duplicate file finder with GUI written using gtk4-rs and relm4
-
making duplicate files hard links, probably rdfind
I said "fclone" I meant "fclones" (https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones) -- I missed the "s" at the end
-
Use `dano` to find duplicate media files
While we're recommending stuff, fclones: https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones
-
Oxidise Your Life
fclones: Efficient Duplicate File Finder.
-
Pip and cargo are not the same
Yes, that would be safer when available (although generally files within library dependencies are not modified I think?). It looks like fclones implements this, is faster and is written in Rust https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones (the last is the most important point of course /s).
- Caf a rust program which filters out duplicate files

Go Find Duplicates: blazingly-fast simple-to-use tool to find duplicate files
I use and test assorted duplicate finders regularly.
fdupes is the classic (going way way back) but it's really very slow, not worth using anymore.
The four I know are worth trying these days (depending on data set, hardware, file arrangement and other factors, any one of these might be fastest for a specific use case) are https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes , https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind , https://github.com/jvirkki/dupd , https://github.com/sahib/rmlint
Had not encountered fclones before, will give it a try.

jdupes - A powerful duplicate file finder and an enhanced fork of 'fdupes'.
go-find-duplicates - Find duplicate files (photos, videos, music, documents) on your computer, portable hard drives etc.
duphard - A simple utility to detect duplicate files and replace them with hard links.
fdupes - FDUPES is a program for identifying or deleting duplicate files residing within specified directories.
kindfs - Index filesystem into a database, then easily make queries e.g. to find duplicates files/dirs, or mount the index with FUSE.
