Hugo has been making this warning for a while WARN found no layout file for "html" for kind "term": You should create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for this combination. This turned out to be the addition of the `groups:` keyword to the command frontmatter. Hugo is doing something with this keyword though this isn't documented in the frontmatter documentation. The fix was removing the `groups:` keyword from the frontmatter since it was never used by hugo.

# rclone dedupe
|
|
|
|
Interactively find duplicate filenames and delete/rename them.
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default `dedupe` interactively finds files with duplicate
|
|
names and offers to delete all but one or rename them to be
|
|
different. This is known as deduping by name.
|
|
|
|
Deduping by name is only useful with a small group of backends (e.g. Google Drive,
|
|
Opendrive) that can have duplicate file names. It can be run on wrapping backends
|
|
(e.g. crypt) if they wrap a backend which supports duplicate file
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
However if `--by-hash` is passed in then dedupe will find files with
|
|
duplicate hashes instead which will work on any backend which supports
|
|
at least one hash. This can be used to find files with duplicate
|
|
content. This is known as deduping by hash.
|
|
|
|
If deduping by name, first rclone will merge directories with the same
|
|
name. It will do this iteratively until all the identically named
|
|
directories have been merged.
|
|
|
|
Next, if deduping by name, for every group of duplicate file names /
|
|
hashes, it will delete all but one identical file it finds without
|
|
confirmation. This means that for most duplicated files the `dedupe` command will not be interactive.
|
|
|
|
`dedupe` considers files to be identical if they have the
|
|
same file path and the same hash. If the backend does not support hashes (e.g. crypt wrapping
|
|
Google Drive) then they will never be found to be identical. If you
|
|
use the `--size-only` flag then files will be considered
|
|
identical if they have the same size (any hash will be ignored). This
|
|
can be useful on crypt backends which do not support hashes.
|
|
|
|
Next rclone will resolve the remaining duplicates. Exactly which
|
|
action is taken depends on the dedupe mode. By default, rclone will
|
|
interactively query the user for each one.
|
|
|
|
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
|
|
`--dry-run` or the `--interactive`/`-i` flag.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example run.
|
|
|
|
Before - with duplicates
|
|
|
|
$ rclone lsl drive:dupes

Now the `dedupe` session
|
|
|
|
$ rclone dedupe drive:dupes

Dedupe can be run non interactively using the `--dedupe-mode` flag or by using an extra parameter with the same value
|
|
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode interactive` - interactive as above.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode skip` - removes identical files then skips anything left.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode first` - removes identical files then keeps the first one.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode newest` - removes identical files then keeps the newest one.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode oldest` - removes identical files then keeps the oldest one.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode largest` - removes identical files then keeps the largest one.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode smallest` - removes identical files then keeps the smallest one.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode rename` - removes identical files then renames the rest to be different.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode list` - lists duplicate dirs and files only and changes nothing.
|
|
|
|
For example, to rename all the identically named photos in your Google Photos directory, do
|
|
|
|
rclone dedupe --dedupe-mode rename "drive:Google Photos"
|
|
|
|
Or
|
|
|
|
rclone dedupe rename "drive:Google Photos"
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone dedupe [mode] remote:path [flags]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
--by-hash Find identical hashes rather than names
|
|
--dedupe-mode string Dedupe mode interactive|skip|first|newest|oldest|largest|smallest|rename (default "interactive")
|
|
-h, --help help for dedupe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Important Options
|
|
|
|
Important flags useful for most commands.
|
