fs/refactor-repos-into-year-folders

Go through a folder of repos, and move them into year folders based on their first-commit date. If a folder has no git repo, it is ignored. Needs to run in the folder containing the repos.

This will move the files, not copy them.

Usage

npx @lukasbach/scripts fs/refactor-repos-into-year-folders

You can call the script directly if you have installed it globally:

npm i -g @lukasbach/scripts
ldo fs/refactor-repos-into-year-folders

Options

• --target: What is the target folder?
• -v, --verbose: Verbose logging

You can also omit options, and will be asked for them interactively.

Add --yes to skip all confirmations.
