CLI Organizer

A simple Rust CLI tool that organizes files by their extensions into categorized subdirectories.

Features

• Organizes files into categories: images, documents, videos, audio, archives, executables, code, and others
• Creates subdirectories automatically if they don't exist
• Provides real-time feedback on file operations
• Handles errors gracefully (missing files, permission issues, etc.)
• Skips directories and files without extensions

Installation

Make sure you have Rust installed, then build the project:

cargo build --release

Usage

cargo run -- /path/to/folder/to/organize

Or if you've built the release binary:

./target/release/cli_organizer /path/to/folder/to/organize
