Folderize

About

• This bash script organizes your files with specified extensions by moving them into folders with their respective names.
• If a folder with the file’s name does not exist, the script will create one.
• Useful to manage files that are scattered in a directory haphazardly and not stored in proper folders.

Usage

• Download the folderize.sh script from this repository.
• Navigate to the directory where folderize.sh is located.
• In a terminal run the program by typing ./folderize.sh /path/to/src /path/to/dest [extension1] [extension2] [extension3]

Example

Suppose you have the following files in the directory D:\Sam\coding\source

And suppose you want those files except newman.rtf to be in folders with their respective names in the directory D:\Sam\coding\destination

Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where folderize.sh is located.

Run the bash program by typing ./folderize.sh D:/Sam/coding/source D:/Sam/coding/destination txt pptx bmp

NOTE: Windows directories use '\' which must be replaced by '/'

All files with specified extensions were moved from the source directory

Each file of specified extension was moved into a folder with its respective name.
