This is a rm command imitation, but without actually removing anything, only
moving it into cache (~/.cache/srm3). By doing this, you can recover
accidentally-removed files.
If you have go installed, then you can run:
GOPROXY=direct go install github.com/WestleyR/srm@main
Or via clone:
git clone https://github.com/WestleyR/srm
cd srm/
make
sudo make install # Or without root: 'make install PREFIX=${HOME}/.local'
Optional to add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:
alias rm="srm"
Instead or addition to aliasing, you can symlink srm -> rm in a first-search path directory.
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin ...
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/srm /usr/local/sbin/rm
This way, rm will always run srm, even for other users. You can always run
the normal rm by calling /bin/rm ....
This is not designed to be a foolproof rm command, you still need to be careful.
