* Support hardlink groups, add debug
-Adds debug functionality with extended details
-Supports detecting inode groups for hardlink processing.
-Pulls files and sorts by, then groups by inode group with awk
-Checks all files in an inode group's counts when calculating skipping counts
-Removes existing skip hardlink flag
-Removes hardlinks and recreates them directly after the balance copy/delete/move operation per inode group to minimize 'downtime'
* Update README.md to denote hardlink support
Adds details around the debug flag, hardlink support, removed --skip-hardlinks functionality, and temporary files used during the script processing.
* Add additional hardlink group database notes
* typo
* Flip default debug
* Fix space handling in paths
* Fix echo bug
Removed the 'recreating hardlinks' echo for inode groups of 1 file.
* Introduce echo_debug
* Reintroduce cp documentation
* Remove unnecessary -e flag
* Remove unused flag
* Fix broken test due to | in the filename
* Add ignore on temporary inode files
* Update tests to assert the hardlinks are still working
* Fix ShellCheck issues
* Fix pasting issue
* Make grep compatible with BSD/MacOS
* Print whole line in debug
* Fix stat for BSD
* Fix stat for BSD part 2
* Fix shellcheck entry
* Fix stats working with FreeBSD
* Use bash's double brackets for consistency sake
* Expand to a string

* add(ignore): ignore of .vscode file
add the vscode config file to gitignore
* add(test): add set of test
- test 1000 1Ko file
- test 5 1 Go file
- test whit both
* fix: spellcheck
prevent wordspliting
* fix: remove of db
remove the db before testing for more accurate time
* fix: time in macOS and freeBSD
- use of gdate (coreutils) for macOS
- switch to `ns` in place of `ms` for freeBSD
* add: test on MacOS
Add test for MacOS in Github action
Maybe see this to add test for FreeBSD :
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/freebsd-vm
* add: log to test
adding log to the test for better understanding
* fix: shellcheck
remove the yellow color that is unused in the test
* fix: fail on lower-casting
the `"${variable,,}"` seam to not work on macOS so y remove it for the `skip_hardlink_flag` because it's always lowercase
* fix: macOS
remove all the lower-case casting
* fix(perf): going to `stat` remove `lsattr` macOS
The command `lsattr` is not supported on macOS so I have remove it
switch to `stat` instead of `ls` for better performance and no subshell
use of parameter expansion with `%` in place of `awk` for performance and no subshell
* fix: forgot to remove variable
* feat: --skip-hardlinks flag
Adds a --skip-hardlinks flag that will not process any files that have an active hardlink.
Without a pre-scan to identify hardlink targets and relink them after copies, all this would result in is duplication.
You'd then have to run another de-duplicator, which doesn't have knowledge of the balancing, and could arbitrarily undo
the balancing work.
* doc: .rebalance suffix -> .balance suffix
* doc: add --skip-hardlinks parameter to README
* test: add unit tests for --skip-hardlink
