File Sorting Tool

A cross-platform Go utility that automatically organizes project directories based on their programming language or framework.

How it works

1. Scans directories for .filesort files
2. Reads the project type from each .filesort file
3. Moves the project to an organized directory structure: ~/Coding/{language}/{projectName}

Setup

1. Create a config.json file:

{
  "sortDir": "~/Coding",
  "acceptedLanguages": ["golang", "nextjs", "python", "javascript"]
}

2. In each project directory, create a .filesort file:

type=golang

Usage

Install the right binary from the "Release" folder. Then run the binary:

./filesorting

Example

If you have a project in /tmp/my-go-project/ with a .filesort file containing type=golang, the tool will move it to ~/Coding/golang/my-go-project/.

Requirements

• Go 1.24.4 or later
• Write permissions to the target directory
