I Built FileFlow CLI Using Python

Hi, Dev Community! 👋

I recently completed my second Python project called FileFlow CLI.

FileFlow is a command-line application that helps manage files and folders. It can scan folders, organize files into different categories, and detect duplicate files using SHA256 hashing.

What FileFlow Can Do

• Scan files and folders recursively
• Display files, folders, or both
• Count the total files and folders
• Organize files into Images, Documents, Videos, Audio, and Others
• Detect duplicate files using SHA256 hashes
• Move duplicates into a separate folder

I built this project using only Python’s standard library, mainly:

• pathlib
• hashlib
• shutil

While building it, I improved my understanding of functions, modules, file handling, error handling, dictionaries, folder traversal, hashing, and command-line applications.

I did not build everything perfectly at once. I faced errors, got confused many times, and solved the project one small step at a time. This project helped me understand how Python can be used to solve a real file-management problem.

This is another step in my journey to become a better developer by building projects from scratch and learning in public.

I would be happy to receive feedback and suggestions from the Dev Community. 🚀
