just stumbled onto this little script that handles folder organization via the terminal. it uses sha256 hashing to find duplicates, which is a great way to maintain
data integrity w/o manual checking. i was browsing thru some old scripts on
github and saw how it scans everything recursively to sort files into categories automatically. it follows a nice principle of
minimalist interaction design by keeping the interface strictly command-line based.
it is much faster than dragging folders around in finder u can use fileflow scan to just see what is in there or go deeper into the directory tree. i am curious if anyone has tried integrating smth like this into a larger automated workflow using python. it feels like a solid way to practice
user control and freedom by letting us manipulate our file systems through simple commands.
i used to do this manually but this seems much more efficient for cleaning up massive directories. does anyone know if there is a way to pipe the output directly into a csv?
