Usage

Interactive mode (default)

extract keywords from filenames. delimiters are ,_- and braces ()[]{} . if you use spaces as delimiters, then add -s option.

• dir - directory to group files in.

group_files_into_dir <dir>

specify keywords by yourself

• keywords - words to use for grouping files, comma separated.
• dir - directory to group files in.

group_files_into_dir -k <keywords> <dir> 

use directory name as keyword

Once you've created directories with interactive mode or specific keywords mode, this mode would be your daily driver.

With -d option, you can group files into directories based on directory names.

Let's say you have inquiry directory and quote directory in docs directory. Now when you put inquiry_2021-01-01.txt and quote_2021-01-01.txt in docs directory, you can move them into inquiry and quote directories with this mode.

• dir - directory to group files in.

group_files_into_dir -d <dir> 

Example

# invoke interactive mode (default)
# then ask you to select keywords.
group_files_into_dir ./

# group files in current directory based on keywords "hello" and "world"
# no keyword selection prompt will be shown.
group_files_into_dir -k "hello,world" ./

# now you can occasionally organize files with -d option.
group_files_into_dir -d ./
