🔎 How to Use duphunter

duphunter helps find code that looks alike in your Python projects. Here is a simple way to run it:

1. Prepare your Python files

Place your Python .py files in a folder. These can be files you wrote or got from somewhere else. Duphunter checks these files for duplicate or similar parts of code.

2. Open duphunter and select files

Use the "Open Folder" or "Add Files" button inside duphunter to pick the folder where your files are saved.

3. Start the scan

Click the "Scan" button. Duphunter will look through your files and find parts of the code that are similar or duplicated.

4. Review the results

After scanning, duphunter shows you a list of code sections that are repeats or near-duplicates. You can click on each to see the details side-by-side.

5. Fix duplicates

You can now decide to edit your code to remove or combine repeated parts. This will make your projects clearer and easier to manage.
