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. 🚀
