Move files into directory/directories of their own (self) filename

move_into_self_directory.sh

# This script is designed to be a 'one-liner', just remove the comments to paste and go!
# However feel free to add a shebang and use it as a script, swapping the glob out for a cheeky $1.

# [Example usage]
# Given:
# A file I want to place into a directory of its own name...
#   ./John Wick.mp4
# ---
# Then:
# This script will create the required directory and move the file into it...
#   ./John Wick/John Wick.mp4


# Currently lazily globbing all media files in the current directory (careful, this is just a wildcard on any .m prefixed extension):
#   *.m*   = .mkv, .mp4, .m4v, etc.
for filepath in *.m*; do
    # Extract the basename from the path with no path or extension so we can use it as the directory name
    dirname="${filepath%.*}";

    # Create the directory from the name acquired above
    mkdir -p "${dirname}";

    # Move the existing file into the newly created directory
    mv -v "${filepath}" "${dirname}";
done
