About:
Gomi is a modern replacement for the standard rm command that moves files to a trash directory instead of permanently deleting them. It provides a safety net against accidental deletions by allowing users to easily restore files using an interactive interface. This tool integrates with the system's trash specification for compatibility with desktop environments.

Key Features:

Safe deletion by moving to trash instead of permanent removal
Interactive restore interface to recover lost files
Drop-in replacement for rm with familiar command syntax
Cross-platform support with system trash integration

Use Cases:

Preventing data loss from accidental rm commands
Managing temporary files that might need recovery later
Safe file deletion in scripts and automated workflows

Alternatives:

rm – Standard rm permanently deletes files with no recovery option
trash-cli – Similar trash functionality but Gomi offers a more modern interface
