   1 # About
   2
   3 A deeply lazy command line solution for automatically cleaning up ~/Downloads on Linux (and probably Mac).
   4
   5 `down-shift` moves files in `~/Downloads` older than 3 days into a new folder named `~/Downloads/MM-archived`. (Where `MM` is the current month.)
   6 `down-shift` moves folders in `~/Downloads` older than 10 days into a new folder named `~/Downloads/MM-archived`. (Where `MM` is the current month.)
   7
   8 `wipe-down` moves any file older than 60 days into `tmp/trashed_from_downloads`.
   9
  10 Depends on `bash`, `find`, `mv` and `rm`.

  12 ## Setup
  13
  14 Clone this project and put the two executables somewhere on your `PATH`.
  15 Then add `down-shift` and `wipe-down` to `crontab`.
  16 Or schedule them any other way you please.
  17
  18 See `crontab.example` and `bashrc.example` for ideas.
