rmtrash VS shell-safe-rm

Compare rmtrash vs shell-safe-rm and see what are their differences.

rmtrash

Put files (and directories) in trash using the `trash-put` command in a way that is, otherwise as `trash-put` itself, compatible to GNUs `rm` and `rmdir` (by PhrozenByte)

shell-safe-rm

😎 Safe-rm: A drop-in and much safer replacement of bash rm with nearly full functionalities and options of the rm command! Safe-rm will act exactly the same as the original rm command. (by kaelzhang)

  • 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.

    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
