Debug Purger

A lightweight, productivity-boosting VS Code extension that instantly cleans up your codebase by purging leftover debug statements with a single command.

No more hunting down forgotten print statements before a code review!

Features

• One-Click Cleanup: Instantly removes all console.log statements and variants from JavaScript/TypeScript files.
• Multi-Language Support: Automatically detects the language of your active file. Works seamlessly with both JavaScript/TypeScript (console.log) and Python (print).
• Deep Clean: Smart regular expressions wipe out the entire line, leaving no messy trailing semicolons or empty parentheses behind.

How to Use

1. Open any JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python file that contains debug logs.
2. Open the VS Code Command Palette:
   • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + P
   • macOS: Cmd + Shift + P
3. Type Purge all print/console lines and press Enter.
4. Watch your debug lines vanish instantly!
