    I'm not sure bashrc tweaks completely qualify but considering it involves probably the most convoluted shell script I've ever had to come up with I'll plug https://github.com/jkern888/bash-dir-collapse. I like having the current directory in my prompt but got annoyed at how long it could get so made this to shrink the overall length without completely sacrificing the full path

  • what is you recommended way to protect accidental delete woth rm -rf in opensuse

    i ended up using shell-safe-rm plus trash-cli and my own wrapper script around rm that verifies some rules like for example the argument don't start with '/' , if i want to delete for example /home/shin/.local/somefile then the script will not let me and suggest to cd to /home/me/.local and delete from there , same if i do rm /var/somedir.

    I use a script called `shell-safe-rm` [1], aliased as `rm` in interactive shells, such that I don't normally use `rm` directly. Instead of directly removing files, they are placed in the trash folder so they can be recovered if they were mistakenly deleted. Highly recommend using a script/program like this to help prevent accidental data loss.

  • F!ck I just did a “‘rm -rf *” in my home directory 🥹💔

    You could think about using trash-cli or safe-rm if you're too trigger happy with your terminal
  • trash-d: A near drop-in replacement for rm that uses the trash bin

    So what's really is the difference/advantage compared to at least five other similar utilities already existing (trash-cli, shell-safe-rm, rm-trash, rmtrash, crap)? Can't really be that it uses D as the programming language. As a matter of fact why're there five utilities doing the same thing in the first place?

    I meant I'm using safe-rm now but I was using another wrapper when I was younger for who knows why
