tmsu
Tag-based file organization system
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
tmsu command [options] [args]
DESCRIPTION
tmsu (Tag My Stuff Unix) is a file tagging tool that lets you organize files by assigning arbitrary tags rather than relying solely on directory hierarchies. Tags and file associations are stored in a local SQLite database, keeping the actual files untouched.Files can be queried using tag-based expressions with boolean operators (and, or, not), making it easy to find files matching specific criteria. The mount command provides a FUSE virtual filesystem where tagged files appear organized into directories by tag, enabling integration with standard file management tools.
