Drash

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.

Why?

I was inspired by trash-cli, but I wanted to create something with more features that I would use. Drash aims to enhance the trash-cli experience with additional features like file searching and advance recovery capabilities.

Installation:

Clone the repo into your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/hamza12700/drash
