gc

Documentation

Overview

Package gc implements "garbage collection" logic for Please, which is an attempt to identify targets in the repo that are no longer needed. The definition of "needed" is a bit unclear; we define it as non-test binaries, but the command accepts an argument to add extra ones just in case (for example, if you have a repo which is primarily a library, you might have to tell it that).
