Show HN: A CLI tool that enables you to remove files easily and safely
There's a Freedesktop specification for trashing files that you may consider adhering to: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/trash-spec/trashspec-...
I get that writing a small utility is fun, but if it is just that (for fun), I suggest you put that into the readme. Otherwise, why should I choose your tool over something like https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli, which seems to already be distributed for the major distros? Does your implementation scratch an itch that the myriad of other implementations don't? I'm just curious.

"Never delete data"
Hard deleting was more necessary on the past when storage was so tiny and expensive, but now we not constantly fighting for space anymore. So treat a rm (and the Unix tradition as a whole) as a product of its time, move undesirable files to the trash instead, you can use this trash-cli for linux.

Always have a backup of you Docker container's data
Not related to Docker, but use the trash-cli trash command to have the recycle bin in the terminal as well.

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.

Based on True events.
They're probably talking about something like this rather than a GUI file manager

What has been your most painful Linux experience?
It's a bad idea to alias rm. You will get trouble on a machine that has no alias. Use trash-cli instead. It's much safer than rm. BTW, don't alias trash as rm because they are different.

The fastest rm command and one of the fastest cp commands
For Linux there's [trash-cli](https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/). Doesn't seem to work for MacOS per this issue (https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/issues/284), but it suggests to use https://hasseg.org/trash/

I did it boys: I blew away ~
Use trash-cli for all your rm -rf needs!

never "rm -rf" the wrong thing again with this handy script
There are a number of foss tools that work with the freedesktop trashcan concept on Linuxes/BSDs, like https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli. Bunch of desktop envs' programs also use this, so it's nearer to OS-wide standardized behavior.

Well, that just happened...
As a suggestion, check out rm-trash, which just moves files into your recycle bin from where you can permanently delete them.

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?
What are some alternatives?
zsh-autocomplete - 🤖 Real-time type-ahead completion for Zsh. Asynchronous find-as-you-type autocompletion.
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.
grub-btrfs - Include btrfs snapshots at boot options. (Grub menu)
trash-d - A near drop-in replacement for rm that uses the trash bin. Written in D
rabbitvcs - The new home of rabbitvcs
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`
You-Dont-Need-GUI - Stop relying on GUI; CLI **ROCKS**
fzf - :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder
unpyc37-3.10 - Minor tweaks to get this excellent Python bytecode decompiler running under Python 3.8-3.10
bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned - OUTDATED!!!!! - Replaced by "The Bumblebee Project" and "Ironhide"
