Clean my macOS

Clean My macOS is built for modern macOS systems. It performs maintainance for mostly commonly used components in the core OS and third party tools with a single terminal command.

Clean My macOS uses a simple plugin system with all "cleaners" located in ~/.cleanmymac/cleaners directory. Functionality can be added (or removed) by adding (or removing) files in the directory.

Pre-requisites

You must have brew and git installed. You can use the cleaners that you need to or remove the ones that you do not want to use. Cleaners are located in the ~/.cleanmymac/cleaners directory.

To install Homebrew open terminal and type

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

After installing Homebrew, you can install git by typing the following in the terminal
