@gauravnumber/move v0.3.0

move

A Node.js utility that enhances file and directory moving capabilities with smart conflict resolution. Unlike the standard mv command, move automatically handles naming conflicts by appending indices to filenames.

Features

• 🚀 Zero dependencies
• 📦 Simple installation
• 🔄 Smart conflict resolution
• 📁 Supports both files and directories
• 🔢 Handles multiple sources
• ⚡ Fast and efficient

Installation

npm install -g @gauravnumber/move

Usage

# Basic usage
move <source_path> <destination_path>

# Move multiple files to a directory
move <file1> <file2> ... <directory>

Examples

1. Moving a Single File

Initial structure:

.
├── 1.txt
├── 2.txt
├── 3.txt
├── 4.txt
├── 5.txt
└── 6.txt

Command:

move 1.txt 2.txt

Result:

.
├── 2_1.txt  # 1.txt was moved and renamed to avoid conflict
├── 2.txt
├── 3.txt
├── 4.txt
├── 5.txt
└── 6.txt

2. Moving Multiple Files

Command:

move 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt destination_folder/

3. Moving Directories

Command:

move source_directory/ destination_directory/

Supported Operations

• move filename1 filename2 - Move/rename a single file
• move onefile twofile threefile andManyMoreFile directoryName - Move multiple files to a directory
• move directory1 directory2 - Move a directory to another directory

How It Works

When a naming conflict occurs, move automatically:

1. Detects the existing file/directory
2. Appends an incremental index to the filename
3. Ensures no data is lost during the move operation
