Sort files into folders by type
One loop moves every file into a folder named after its extension — pdf, jpg, txt — creating the folders as it goes. Upper- and lower-case extensions land together, and nothing is overwritten.
How
Go to the messy folder:
cd ~/DownloadsMove each file into a folder named for its type:
for f in *.*; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue; e=$(echo "${f##*.}" | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"); mkdir -p "$e" && mv -n "$f" "$e/"; doneFiles with no extension stay where they are. If a folder already holds a file with the same name, the new one is left in place rather than replacing it.
