rm-backup

A minimal command line tool to backup any files you rm.

Warning

This tool works as intended, but you should still consider using trasher instead.

Installation

Use cargo install rm-backup, or binstall if you have it.

Usage

Intended usage is to run rm-backup before actual rm with equal arguments. For example, here is a working example for fish:

function rm;
  rm-backup $argv;
  if not contains -- "--get" $argv
    command rm $argv
  end
end

# run `funcsave rm` to persist

rm-backup will backup all specified files (and folders if --recursive/-r/-R is specified) to ~/.cache/rm-backup/.

After that you can read logs located in the same folder to determine under which name the folder you're looking for was saved. You can also use cat $(rm-backup --get) to quickly read latest log.
