CLI utility to sort directories based on file extensions

cleandir

Organizes a directory's contents into subdirectories based on file extensions.

Say goodbye to navigating between hundreds of files in your downloads directory!

Installation

pip install cleandir

Usage

Just pass the directory to organize as an argument

cleandir <dir-name>

By default, cleandir organizes files using the following rules:

• audio: flac, mp3, ogg, wav
• documents: docx, pdf, pptx, xlsx
• misc: 7z, deb, exe, rar, zip
• pictures: gif, jpg, png, svg, webp
• videos: mkv, mov, mp4, webm

Extensions outside this rule are ignored

Custom rules can be passed by creating a JSON file directories and list of extensions:

{
  "audio": ["mp3", "wav"],
  "code": ["py", "c", "js"],
}

cleandir --json-file <json-file> <dir-name>

If duplicates files exists in the created directory, they can be removed by using the --delete-duplicates flag:

cleandir -d <dir-name>

Available help can be seen through the --help flag:

cleandir --help
