CleanUp

A simple command line utility that organises files in a directory into subdirectories based on the files’ extensions.

Usage

When run without any option, it organises the files in the specified directory into subdirectories based on the files’ extensions.

Options

• -d, --dry-run

  Just displays the changes that would be made, without actually doing anything.

  cleanup -d path/to/dir        # dry run the cleanup
  cleanup -dr path/to/dir       # dry run the reverting a cleanup
  

• -s, --silent

  Prevents displaying any information while performing operations. Errors, however, are displayed irrespective of whether this option is enabled or not.

  cleanup -s path/to/dir        # silently cleanup
  cleanup -sr path/to/dir       # silently revert a cleanup
  

• -r, --revert

  Reverts the cleanup of a directory. Note that for this to work, the specified directory should have been cleaned up before.

  cleanup -r path/to/dir        # revert the cleanup of a directory
  

• -h, --help

  Displays the help text.

  cleanup -h
  

Development

Setup

1. Clone the repo and cd into it.

2. Set up a Python 3 virtual environment using pipenv:

   pipenv --three         # create Python 3 virtual environment
   pipenv install --dev   # install all dependencies
   pipenv shell           # activate virtual environment shell
   

3. The cleanup script can now be run from the root directory of the project:

   python3 -m cleanup.cleanup -h
   

Test

Make sure you’re in the root directory of the project. You can then run the test using:

python3 -m tests.test
