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 temp 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 bells and whistles. Drash aims to enhance the trash-cli experience with additional features like file searching and advance recovery capabilities.

With Drash, you can easily put files into the 'drashcan' by simply searching for them in the current working directory. You can also search for and recover previously deleted files.

Installation:

Clone the repo into your local machine:

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

Use Cargo to build and install the binary.

cd drash
cargo install --path .

Usage
