A quick script to clean up your desktop and archive it's content by date

cleanup.sh

#!/bin/zsh
# Version 2.0

# Works pretty much the same as the initial version. If you have a folder in Documents/Archive/ with a project name, 
# it can be used to organize your files.

# EXAMPLE
# Given the folder Desktop/Freelance client-X, and if you have a folder called Documents/Archive/Freelance, content will be moved to
# Documents/Archive/Freelance/client-X/2019-01-30/
# The first word of the folder in desktop must match the one in the Archive.
