💅 Code::TidyAll::Plugin::UniqueLines — the perl manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the perl man pages, and it's about a little TidyAll plugin that just... deletes your duplicate lines. that's it. that's the whole gig. and honestly? iconic. 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

Code::TidyAll::Plugin::UniqueLines — Remove duplicate lines from a file

like, it removes the duplicates. from the file. no notes. 💖

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.000003

ngl that's a lot of zeros but we respect the semver grind fr fr 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how you actually summon this thing, and yes this goes in your configuration:

# In configuration:

[UniqueLines]
select = .ispell* **/.gitignore

that's it. that's the whole ritual. drop that select line in and you're cooking. 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the vibe is: it discards duplicate lines from a file. bye bye, dupes. not me gaslighting your .gitignore into being shorter. 💅

this is lowkey perfect for any file that's like, one entry per line, bestie. think:

  • .svnignore
  • .gitignore
  • .ispell*

those files where every line is just A Thing and seeing the same Thing twice is giving clutter, and clutter is not the main character energy we're going for. ✨

💜 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 💜

okay so full transparency, the author says this code was essentially pilfered from Code::TidyAll::Plugin::SortLines.

we love a reusing-your-own-work moment. recycle, reuse, slay. 🌈

and that's the whole page bestie!! no cap, this one was short and sweet, which honestly? we love a compact manpage. the docs themselves come from perl v5.36.0, dated 2022-12-02, and it's filed under that same Code::...eLines(3pm) header up top and the footer down below. mwah. 😘✨ 🎀🦋🌸💖
