A Safe and Efficient Replacement for the Linux rm Command.

Overview

With RR, you can enjoy the efficiency of the classic rm command, now with modern, user-centric safety and performance features tailored for Linux environments.

Key Features

1. Optimized Parameter Handling

   • Simplifies command options for a more efficient and user-friendly experience.

   By acctualy just move the target files to /var/tmp, options such as -r and -f are no longer needed.

2. Recoverability

   • Provides built-in recovery options, allowing easy restoration of deleted files, minimizing accidental deletions.

   rr restore the last removed files, and you can also check the /var/tmp/rr_removed directory to manually restore files.

You can also use rr --restore reapetedly to restore files that were removed before the last removal.

Or, you can see /var/tmp/rr_removed to manually restore files.
