Shark File Tool

Shark is the all-in-one command-line tool for admins and power users, designed to simplify and centralize file operations. Instead of juggling multiple utilities for tasks like copying, moving, deleting, listing, and searching for files, Shark consolidates them into a single, easy-to-use solution. With modern, intuitive commands, Shark streamlines your workflow—manage files, search file contents, compare directories, adjust permissions, display disk usage, and much more, all with speed and efficiency. Say goodbye to the clutter of multiple command-line tools—Shark does it all in one bite.
