Sort/group files by their file-type

lite-sort

lite-sort is a simple program to collect and sort files in a given directory into directories matching (or relevant to) their filetype. Filetype is typically determined by the file's extension, but falls back to using file header to resolve files without extensions. Written with Python3+

Install (may require a venv)

$ pip install lite-sort
