STRATIFY

Organize a messy, unorganized directory by time period.

Installation

Prerequisite: Node.js v18+

$ npm i -g @fusionfroze/stratify

How to Use it

First, traverse to the directory you want to organize in your terminal.

Simulating the final structure

$ stratify --dry month

You also have quarter and year as options.

This command will show you which file goes where, printing the final structure without actually moving files.

It's always recommended to simulate the command before running it.

Organizing a directory

Important: These commands move actual files, so you should simulate the effect of the commands first.

Command structure -

$ stratify month

Or, whatever time period you want to organize the directory with.

This will organize the whole directory by the time period you ran the command with.

Restoring the initial structure

After organizing a directory with the previous command, you can revert the file structure to its initial state by running this command -

$ stratify undo

Clearing history

You can also delete the history of an organized directory by running this command -

$ stratify clear

Important: If you delete the history of an organized directory, the undo command will not work in this directory.

(You will be asked for confirmation once, before actually deleting the history)
