So this utility given a directory or path, will move randomly files in subdirectories and will move subdirectories randomly too. CAREFUL, if given system directory it will probably trash the system, equivalent of doing rm -rf /, except all the files are still there! :)

I don't know why I came up with this idea nor if its original but its mine.

You might ask, whats the use case, well that's an interesting question, you know why? Because... ๐Ÿƒ

(Of course, I'm open to feedback.)

I'm going to run this in a hannah Montana linux vm, boot a live disc, then try and recover.

It won't do anything if a given directory contains only file then It won't do anything right?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yes, if it only contains files then it won't do anything.
