FileGenie

FileGenie is a command-line tool that helps you manage your files by generating directory trees and organizing them based on their types.

Features:

Generate a visual representation of a directory structure using the tree command. Automatically categorize and move files within a directory based on their extensions using the organise command.

Prerequisites:

Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system. Download them from nodejs

File Organization

The organise command creates a subdirectory named "organised_files" within the specified directory (or the current working directory). Files are then categorized and moved into subdirectories within "organised_files" based on their extensions.

Supported File Types

Filegenie uses the following categories and file types to organize your files:

Archives: bz2, dmg, iso, pkg

Databases: db, sqlite, mdb, accdb

Additional Notes

The organise command categorizes files based on their extensions. If an extension is not found in the supported list, the file will be moved to an "others" category. You can customize the supported file types by modifying the utility.types object in the utility.js file.
