# About

Dext (Directories by Extensions) is a script that moves (or copies) files of the same extension into a folder.

The main goal of this script is to make sense out of large number of messy and unorganized files by sorting them (according to their file extensions) in folders.

Dext moves files by default unless copy option is provided (-c).
