The File Sorting Script is a simple Python utility designed to help you organize your files effortlessly. By providing it a target folder, the script automatically sorts the files within it based on their file extensions into separate subfolders. This saves you time and ensures that your files are neatly organized for easy access and better file management.

-
cdinto the cloned repo's directory on your machine. -
Install the project dependencies by running the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This command will install the necessary Python packages required for the File Sorting Script to run properly.
-
Edit the configuration file (
config.yaml) to define the desired sorting rules. You can specify the target folder, file extensions, and corresponding subfolders in the configuration file. Open theconfig.yamlfile in a text editor and modify the values according to your requirements. -
Run the script by executing the following command:
python main.py
The script will use the configuration defined in the config.yaml file to sort the files in the target folder based on the specified sorting rules.
If you have a folder named "Documents" containing various files such as "report.docx," "presentation.pptx," and "image.jpg," you can customize the config.yaml file to specify the target folder as "Documents" and define the desired sorting rules. Running the main.py file will automatically create subfolders like "Documents/Docs," "Documents/Presentations," and "Documents/Images." The corresponding files will be moved into their respective subfolders based on their file extensions.
