Great! So how do I use it?

• files-importer runs on Mac, Linux and Windows, just git checkout this repository and install its dependencies using npm install.
• Open the command line and run npm start source target where source and target are paths to directories, example npm start ~/Documents/my-pictures-library ~/Documents/new-pictures
• files-importer will compare the two directories and copy the contents from source to target only if target does not have the file present in source.
