# rsdir

Edit directories as a text file. Rust reimplementation of vidir from

[moreutils](https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/), with some features from the

[fork by trapd00r](https://github.com/trapd00r/vidir)

## Installation

```sh

cargo install rsdir

```

## Usage

```sh

# Say you have a directory that looks like this

├─ old/

│  ├─ file1

├─ file1

└─ file_2

# Running rsdir will open your editor with the following content

1 ./file1

2 ./file_2

3 ./old/

# The numbers are used to keep track of each file - editing a path will

# rename the file/directory while removing a line will delete it

# We can the remove the _ from the second file to make the naming consistent

# and remove the third line, leaving us with the following

1 ./file1

2 ./file2

# Save the file and exit the editor and rsdir will perform the modifications

├─ file1

└─ file2

# If you ran with the --verbose flag you would get the following log

Moved file "./file_2" to "./file2"

Removed directory "./old"

```

## Examples

```sh

# Defaults to currenty directory

rsdir

# Supports multiple directories

rsdir ./foo ../bar

# Verbose mode will log what files are moved/deleted

rsdir --verbose

# Use another editor. Will default to vi if EDITOR isn't set

EDITOR=nano rsdir

```
