I want to create a rule or multiple rules that will take a folder like this :

And will automatically be sorting these folders into folders like these :

I also want to keep folders that were added 'this month' in the root folder. So for instance on 1st of January, all folders I git cloned or added to the root folder will be moved to '2016/dec' folder. And same will happen with folders I add in 2017 January.

If I can make this rule, it would save me a lot of time and I would love hazel for it. Can someone help me make this happen please? I would really appreciate if one can give the rules needed to make this happen.

Thank you. I really love this app. ♥

You should be able to do it using Sort into subfolder and using one of the date attributes in the pattern. You can use conditions like "<some date> is not in the last month" or use the Current time attribute to schedule it for the 1st of the month.

Try the above and report back with any specific problems.
