difference with rimraf ?

[mesqueeb]

I'm interested to know the difference between this and the rimraf node package, or rm -rf on macOS.

Thanks in advance! : )

Benefits over rimraf CLI: Supports globbing (even on Windows), safer by default as it doesn't allow deleting parent directories, has a dry-run mode.

Benefits over rm -rf: Cross-platform, safer by default as it doesn't allow deleting parent directories, has a dry-run mode.

@sindresorhus I wonder if "del-cli" is really cross-platform if you need to write del-cli on windows, what should we do with our package.json scripts? If our team has both windows & mac users. Is there a keyword that works on both mac and windows? Because otherwise it's not really cross-platform.

If your project is cross-platform, you use del-cli. It works on both.
