rm files without fear

Why?

Ever rmed a file and instantly regretted it? Fear not, for crap is here.

How?

crap follows the FreeDesktop.org Trash spec. So instead of perma-deleting your file, crap moves it to the $XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash folder. If this environment variable isn't set, it defaults to ~/.local/share/Trash.

And obviously, this works only on Linux.

Installation

$ nimble install crap

or download the binary from the Releases page.

Tip

Alias crap to rm in your .bashrc/.zshrc. But that's kinda the point.

Usage

$ crap foo.png

$ crap *.png

$ crap a.pdf b.jpg c.mp4

Aaannddd it'll show up in your file manager's Trash.

trash

API

crap("~/Pictures/*")
