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... 🏃

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

This should be added as a base command fittingly named "shufflemyshit"

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

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