Drash is a Command Line Interface (CLI) application that serves as a better alternative to the Linux rm command. It records the original path of the file which was removed. It puts the deleted file into a temp directory (~/.local/share/Drash), 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 wanted the experience using trash-cli, but with more features. Like being able to search files in the drashcan and recovering them. Put files into the drashcan by searching for them in the current working directory.
Clone the repo into your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/hamza12700/drashUse Cargo to build and install the binary into your $PATH.
cd drash
cargo install --path .
Put a file intot the drashcan:
drash foo
Pass --force/-f flag to delete a file without storing it in the drashcan:
drash foo -f
Pass no arguments and options to put files into drashcan by search for them:
drash
List files in the drashcan:
drash list
Restore a file from drashcan using indices, also supports range and comma separated values:
drash restore
Restore the last drashed file:
drash restore -
Restore a file using fuzzy searching:
drash restore <FILE_NAME>
Pass --overwrite/-o flag to overwrite the existing file that same path:
drash restore <FILE_NAME> --overwrite
Empty the drashcan:
drash empty
Pass --yes/-y pass to not show the confirm prompt:
drash empty -y
