About:
rip2 is a command-line utility written in Rust that provides a safer alternative to the standard rm command. It moves deleted files to a trash or recycle bin location instead of permanently removing them immediately. This allows for easy recovery of accidentally deleted files and prevents catastrophic data loss.
Key Features:
  • Safe deletion by moving files to a trash directory
  • Ergonomic CLI with sensible defaults
  • Written in Rust for performance and memory safety
  • Supports restoring deleted files
Use Cases:
  • Daily file management where accidental deletion is a concern
  • Scripting environments where rm is too dangerous
  • System administration for safer cleanup operations
Alternatives:
  • rm-trash – Similar concept, but rip2 is a single Rust binary with a more modern interface
  • rm – Standard Unix tool that permanently deletes; rip2 adds a safety layer
