Show HN: A CLI tool that enables you to remove files easily and safely

• wrm

  Remove files or directories.

• trash-rs

There's a cross-platform trash/recycling library you might be interested in: https://github.com/Byron/trash-rs

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• trash-cli

  40 3,409 9.2 Python

  Command line interface to the freedesktop.org trashcan.

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.

• fuc

  4 303 7.3 Rust

  Modern, performance focused unix commands

Is this a faster version of rm, optimized for speed, like FUC's rmz (https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/fuc)? I was hoping that it could do that, seeing this is written in rust (hopefully for performance)

  A safe and ergonomic alternative to rm (by nivekuil)

I still use Rip (Rm Improved) even though it hasn't updated in 4 years https://github.com/nivekuil/rip . But a tool this simple doesn't need to
