A safe and ergonomic alternative to rm

A safer rm written in Rust

Features

rip is an alternative to rm written in Rust, focused on safety/convenience/performance
Deleted files are kept in a graveyard directory with their absolute paths preserved (/tmp/graveyard-$USER), giving you a chance to recover the data
- Data is never overwritten. If a file at the same path is deleted, a backup number is appended
"rip2" is one of several forks of the original rip project, and is the third fork:
- The original project has been unmaintained since 2020
Changes added:
- Extended support: added Windows and NixOS support
- Code cleanup: refactored to modern Rust, merged PRs from the original repository
- More tests: added a full test suite and coverage monitoring
- Style improvements: colorful output and date/time information in seance
- Bug fixes: fixed issues with FIFO files and seance
- Shell completions: supports completions for bash, elvish, fish, powershell, zsh, nushell, and more (using clap)
- Improved safety: implemented flock to prevent race conditions between concurrent processes
Can be installed and used on Linux, macOS, and Windows
