GhostCleaner

A simple, portable log & history cleaner that also fetches system information (neofetch-style). It is compatible with any distribution that ships bash.

Features

• Cleans a configurable list of common system log files
• Removes *history files from the user's home directory
• Fetches system info: OS, uptime, hostname, CPU model & usage, RAM usage
• Interactive shell mode plus one-shot command-line flags
• Portable — runs directly from the cloned repository, no install required

Requirements

• bash
• Root privileges for log cleaning (sudo)
• Core utilities: rm, cut, grep, head, touch

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ByCh4n/GhostCleaner.git
cd GhostCleaner
sudo make install

You can also run it directly after cloning — bash GhostCleaner.sh --help — it is a fully portable script.
