juliensimon released Cache Commander (ccmd) 0.4.3, adding support for Hugging Face's new cache format plus security fixes.
- It's a TUI + MCP server for macOS/Linux to explore, audit, and clean developer cache directories, covering pip, npm, Cargo, HuggingFace, Homebrew and more.
- Author's real-world scan on his Mac found 71.7 GiB of developer caches and 264 cached packages with known advisories, with the npx cache being the worst spot.
- HF's new format keeps each large file in one place and links it into every repo; his old build missed 1.5 GiB of it, making model folders look empty.
Install: brew install juliensimon/tap/ccmd
