# Sortifiler CLI

> Get your files sorted from the command line. 📚🗂🖥

## Description
An opinionated command line interface to sort your files and folders easily while feeling like [Hackerman](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hackerman).

**Desktop app coming soon! 🚀**

Everyday you look at your *Desktop/Downloads* folder and think, "Damn I need to clean up this mess". 🤦

That feeling is why this CLI now exists. 😆

Sortifiler CLI classifies files and folders and moves them into *\_Type* folders for easy access at the root of your chosen directory. 🗃

## Installation

## How does the sorting work?

- Folders are classified using the best matching *_Type* folder based on the files within that folder (only 1 level down).
- Files are classified as follows:

| _Type Folder | File Extension |
| :------------- | :--------------------------------------- |
| _Books | ".epub", ".mobi" |
| _Documents | ".pdf", ".txt", ".doc", ".docx", ".ppt", ".pptx", ".md", ".json", ".ods", ".log", ".xls", ".xlsx", ".ttf" |
| _Images | ".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif", ".xcf", ".stl", ".blend", "*.obj", "*.mtl", "*.3ds", "*.tga", ".icns" |
| _Music | ".mp3", ".wav", ".flac", ".m4a", ".ogg", ".mid", ".asd", ".m3u", ".pls", ".alp", ".asx", ".bfxrsound", ".m3u8", ".als", ".m4r" |
| _Programs | ".dmg", ".exe", ".sh", ".app", ".pkg", ".apk", ".ipa", ".gba", ".gbc" |
| _Scripts | ".py", ".java", ".class", ".sh", "*.cs", "*.r", ".itermcolors", ".terminal", ".theme", ".gbaskin", ".tmtheme", ".resbackup" |
| _Torrents | ".torrent" |
| _Videos | ".mkv", ".mp4", ".mov", ".mpeg", ".webm", ".srt", ".avi" |
| _Web | ".html", ".css", ".js", ".htm" |
| _Zipped | ".zip", ".rar", ".7z", ".tar.gz", ".tar", ".gz", "*.unitypackage", "*.prefab", ".fbx" |

## Custom Configuration

Example: sortifiler.json

```json
{
"whitelist": ["fileToIgnore.txt"],
"rules": {
"_Documents": ["*.pdf"],
"_Music": ["*.mp3"]
}
}
```
