i# Directory Cleanup Bash Script

Overview

This Bash script is designed to organize files in a specified directory by moving them into subdirectories based on their file extensions. It also dynamically creates subdirectories as needed.

Usage

• Executable file should be in the parent directory of the directory to be cleaned up.

1. Run the Script:

   • Make the script executable: chmod +x your_script_name.sh
   • Execute the script: ./your_script_name.sh

2. Input Directory Path:

   • You will be prompted to input the directory path where the files are located.

3. Organizing Files:

   • The script identifies each file's extension and moves it to a corresponding subdirectory.

4. File Criteria:

   • Regular files (not directories) that are not executable are considered for organization.
   • The script distinguishes empty files and determines their type using the file command or extracts the extension directly.

5. Directory Creation:

   • Subdirectories are created dynamically based on file extensions if they do not already exist.

6. Cleanup Message:

   • Once all files are processed, a message is displayed indicating that the directory has been successfully cleaned.

Prerequisites

• Bash environment (Linux, macOS, Git Bash on Windows, etc.)
• The file command for accurate file type determination.

Important Note

• The script assumes that the file command is available in your environment for accurate file type identification.
• It is recommended to review and customize the script based on specific use cases or requirements.
