Drash is a nifty Command-Line Interface application which is a better
alternative to the Linux rm command. It records the original path of the
removed file, and puts it into a directory, making it easy to recovery
them later if you accidentally deleted the wrong file.
This same functionality is used by KDE, GNOME, and XFCE freedesktop-trashcan.
I was inspired by trash-cli, but I wanted to create something with more bells and whistles. Drash aims to enhance the trash-cli experience with additional features like file searching and advance recovery capabilities.
With Drash, you can easily put files into the 'drashcan' by simply searching for them in the current working directory. You can also search for and recover previously deleted files.
Clone the repo into your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/hamza12700/drashUse Cargo to build and install the binary.
cd drash
cargo install --path .
Put file(s) into drashcan:
drash foo
Pass --force/-f flag to delete a file permanently:
drash foo -f
Pass no arguments and options to remove multiple files in current directory:
drash
List all the removed files:
drash list
Restore files by searching for them:
drash restore
Restore the last removed file:
drash restore -
Restore a file matching the file name:
drash restore <FILE_NAME>
Pass --overwrite/-o flag to overwrite the existing file:
drash restore <FILE_NAME> --overwrite
Empty the drashcan:
drash empty
Pass --yes/-y pass to not show the confirm prompt:
drash empty -y
