This script is designed to help manage the deletion of node_modules directories within a specified directory.

./npkill <path>

or

bash npkill <path>

Replace <path> with the directory where you want to search for and potentially delete node_modules directories.

The script performs the following steps:

1. Checks if the input directory path is provided.
2. Searches for all node_modules directories under the given path.
3. Writes the list of found node_modules directories to delete.txt.
4. Asks the user if they want to delete the listed directories (y), review them in your default editor (r), or skip the deletion (n).
5. If the user chooses to delete (y), it iterates through delete.txt and deletes each directory.
6. If the user chooses to read (r), it opens delete.txt with your default editor for review.
7. If the user chooses not to delete (n) or if no node_modules directories are found, appropriate messages are displayed.

Suppose you have a project directory named my_project containing several node_modules directories you want to delete. You can run the script as follows:

npkill my_project

This will search for node_modules directories within my_project, list them in delete.txt, and prompt you for further action.

All your deleted node modules are listed in delete.txt
Do you want to delete them? (yes/no/review)->[y/n/r]:
