Drash

A simple Command-Line Interface app, a better alternative to the Linux rm command. It keeps track of the original file-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.

Installation:

Clone the repo into your local machine:

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

There's only two dependencies: g++ and make:

cd drash

# 'opt' for release build
make opt
