compare files in folder bash,python

in linux bash I want to make a script that scan all files in a folder and compares them if their contents are identical

Here is a bash script that compares all files in a folder to see if their contents are identical:

```bash
#!/bin/bash

# Get list of all files in the folder
files=$(find /path/to/folder -type f)

# Loop through each file
for file1 in $files; do
  for file2 in $files; do
    if [ "$file1" != "$file2" ]; then
      if cmp -s "$file1" "$file2"; then
        echo "$file1 and $file2 have the same contents."
      fi
    fi
  done
done
```

In the script above, replace `/path/to/folder` with the actual path to the folder you want to scan. The script will compare all files in the folder to check if their contents are identical and print a message for each pair of files that have the same contents.

in python I want to make a script that scan all files in a folder and compares them if their contents are identical
Here's a Python script that scans all files in a folder and compares them to check if their contents are identical:

```python
import os
import filecmp

def compare_files(folder_path):
    files = [f for f in os.listdir(folder_path) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(folder_path, f))]

    for i in range(len(files)):
        for j in range(i+1, len(files)):
            file1 = os.path.join(folder_path, files[i])
            file2 = os.path.join(folder_path, files[j])
            if filecmp.cmp(file1, file2):
                print(f"{files[i]} and {files[j]} have identical contents")
            else:
                print(f"{files[i]} and {files[j]} do not have identical contents")

folder_path = "your_folder_path_here"
compare_files(folder_path)
```

Replace `"your_folder_path_here"` with the path of the folder you want to scan. This script will compare all files in the folder and print a message indicating whether their contents are identical or not.
