rip

rip is a command-line deletion tool focused on safety, ergonomics, and performance. It favors a simple interface, and does not implement the xdg-trash spec or attempt to achieve the same goals.

Deleted files get sent to the graveyard (/tmp/graveyard-$USER by default, see notes on changing this) under their absolute path, giving you a chance to recover them. No data is overwritten. If files that share the same path are deleted, they will be renamed as numbered backups.

rip is made for lazy people. If any part of the interface could be more intuitive, please open an issue or pull request.
