Upstream react-native-clean-project to React Native CLI's clean command

[szymonrybczak]

Hey! 👋

I'm maintainer of React Native CLI, and last year we added clean command. react-native-clean-project is great tool, and we would like to upstream all options that RNCP has to clean command, to make it an official solution that will be listed in docs etc.

What do you think about making this tool an official solution? I'll tackle brining all options to RN CLI.

Hey @szymonrybczak that sounds like a good idea. I have a few updates and tweaks to do first, but what would be the next steps?

How much work it require? Maybe we can do it directly in CLI?

In the next couple of weeks I'll check what options/feature are not included inside clean command in RN CLI, and then I think I'll create an issue collecting them all - maybe it'll be an umbrella issue, it depends on the amount of the work that needs to be done.

Not a lot of work, it's more a matter of time. The tasks are dependency updates and closing some issues, nothing major.

What would the upstream entail? Will the CLI do a direct reference to RNCP lib?

I think we can merge in checks that are inside RNCP. And add information in RNCP README file that "This tool was upstreamed to React Native CLI, you can use it by running npx react-native clean".

Sounds good. I'll write once I'm done with the updates.
