- This is a small program that automatically moves and sorts files from chosen source to destination. It uses PySimpleGUI to create a minimal GUI for the user.
- Anyone is welcome to work on it and add whatever features they wish, as long as they adhere to the Code of Conduct and the Contributing Guidelines.
- This project is especially interesting for Python beginners who don't have a project idea, but would like to work on something or anyone participating in the annual Hacktoberfest and looking to contribute to a project.
This project aims to create a small, user-friendly tool to help people with organizing their files through use of simple algorithms that provide a number of sorting options.
Specifically, this project looks to provide the user with:
- A program that automatically moves/copies and sorts files from user-designated source to destination directory
- A user-friendly interface for managing files
- The option to automatically move/copy and sort files from removable devices
- The option to automatically sort directories or partitions as content is added, changed or removed
First, clone this repository:

- First, refer to the Contributing Guidelines
- Take a look at the existing Issues or create your own Issues to work on!
- Wait for the Issue to be assigned to you before you start working on it.
- Fork the repository and create a Branch for any Issue that you are working on.
- Create a Pull Request which will be promptly reviewed and suggestions might be added to improve it.
- Optional, but it would be helpful if you added screenshots to help everyone know how your fix or new feature works.
Otherwise, if you are new to GitHub or have never contributed to GH projects, you can refer to these helpful guides on how to contribute:
- If you wish to build the source yourself and run the program from an executable instead of running the script everytime, you can use PyInstaller to compile the script into an
.exefile.
