Only delete old project (skip active project) about kondo HOT 7 CLOSED

Yep good call, thank you for the reminder @azzamsa

from kondo.

When I use kondo in my directory project, it deletes all the build artifacts in all directories. Including the active one.

Hey @azzamsa , just to be sure, kondo should only delete from projects that you choose to "clean", if it's deleting from projects without your express consent please file an issue for that!

In regards to "active" projects, it's hard to say what is active, that will depend on the user. I was actually working on a way to surface the projects last modified date yesterday. It's my hope that will provide the user enough information to base their decision.

As for automatically cleaning projects older than a certain date, I honestly hadn't thought of that, but it's something I may consider adding. Thank you for letting me know about that!

Yes, I think it doesn't need to be configurable as args. last modified file > one month is enough to say the project is inactive.
Or we could create a poll in discussion what will be the default (hardcoded): one month or one week.

I've added a printout of the last date a file in the project was modified, which was the first step towards something like this

/Users/choc/code/sp-liveview Cargo project (2 days ago)
  └─ target (615.6MiB)
  delete above artifact directories? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]ll, [q]uit): n

/Users/choc/code/rust-au Cargo project (3 months ago)
  └─ target (2.2GiB)
  delete above artifact directories? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]ll, [q]uit): n

/Users/choc/code/rust-prod-api Cargo project (2 months ago)
  └─ target (1.7GiB)
  delete above artifact directories? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]ll, [q]uit): q

What about some kind of minimal filter syntax for passing to kondo.

For example kondo projects-dir -f 1m which would only show projects modified more than 1 month ago. Then you could do things like kondo -f 2d or kondo -f 1y etc.

You could combine that with the --all or -a flag to automatically clean the matching projects.

I think it should be the default, to avoid breaking current workflow.

@tbillington I think we need a new release that includes #66 :)
