Filecraft – automate file management tasks

Filecraft is a command line utility designed to automate common file organisation tasks.

It provides tools for renaming files sequentially, separating files into directories based on rules, merging files from multiple locations, and reverting previous operations when needed. The project offers both Python and Go implementations with similar behaviour, allowing users to choose their preferred runtime environment.

This is free and open source software.
