declutter

Automatically sort files into directories

Probably not usable until v0.1.0.

Synopsis

Categorizes files by type (archive, image, audio, document, etc.) and moves them into destination directories.

Configurable via a .declutter.yml placed in the directory to declutter. Globs supported. Theoretically, you can configure it to move files outside of the directory, and not just into subdirs.

I wrote this because I have way too much crap in my Downloads folder.

Install

$ npm install -g declutter

Usage

declutter [options] <directory> [...directory]

Options:
  --dry-run   Don't actually do anything              [boolean] [default: false]
  --verbose   More output                             [boolean] [default: false]
  --debug     Even more output                        [boolean] [default: false]
  --version   Show version number                                      [boolean]
  --help, -h  Show help                                                [boolean]

API

declutter exports a single function which accepts two parameters; the first is the directory to operate on, and the second is an options object corresponding to the CLI's flags.

Config File Syntax

glob: destination

Example:

'*.torrent': torrent

Any globs here will override the default settings, which are pulled from a swath of foo-extension modules on npm.

Development

1. git clone this repo.
