soft-rm
This is abandonware. If you would like to have the npm package name
soft-rm
, please open an issue on the repository and I will give it to you.
soft-rm
is a small wrapper around rm
that does not remove files. It's like a recycle bin for the command line.
Usage
soft-rm file
"soft-deletes" the given file.soft-rm --restore file
restores the given file, if possible.soft-rm --flush file
actually, irreversibly, for-real deletes a previously soft-deleted file.soft-rm --restore-all
restores all soft-deleted files.soft-rm --flush-all
actually, irreversibly, for-real deletes all previously soft-deleted files.
You can also add soft-rm --flush-all
to your init scripts if you like.
Limitations (for now)
- does not work across file systems
- "trash" directory is not configurable
- does not support most of the
rm
cli arguments (including useful stuff like-r
)
