A Rust CLI app to move files in an arbitrarily nested directory structure to a pairtree structure.
TODO
pairtree --help
USAGE:
pairtree [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --dest-dir <dest-dir> --source-dir <source-dir>
FLAGS:
--help Prints help information
-k, --keep-extension If using the hash as the file name, retain the original file extension.
-o, --origin-path-in-dest-name Use the full filepath to the source file as the name of the destination file,
replacing '/' with '_'.
-u, --use-hash-for-filename Use the hash as the filename in the destination directory.
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-d, --dest-dir <dest-dir> Path to directory where pairtree structure will be created.
-h, --hash-type <hash-type> Type of has algorithm to use. Options: md5, sha1, blake3. [default: blake3]
-s, --source-dir <source-dir> Path to directory with existing files to be moved.
We have a directory with some files at various levels of a nested directory structure:
tree ./scratch/
scratch/
├── test3
└── top
├── middle
│ ├── bottom
│ │ └── test.txt
│ └── test2.txt
└── test3.txtTo move them into a pairtree structure at /var/data using the md5 algorith, you'd run
pairtree --source-dir ./scratch --dest-dir /var/data --hash-type md5 And then we can see the files moved to the destination directory.
