Was thinking the same thing. Works like a charm, but thinking to look for another tool

Hey y'all, I began a fork of rip today to have sonething that's more up to day. Currently I'm refactoring the code to better fit Rust 2021 (rip used Rust 2018 originally), but I also plan on adding some QoL features such as restoring arbitrary files

The fork is here: https://github.com/StandingPadAnimations/rip

You can install using this command:

cargo install --git https://github.com/StandingPadAnimations/rip.git

Just remember to remove the old installation beforehand

Brings up the topic of how to go about naming the crate as well as publishing a nix package. What are your plans?

StandingPadAnimations commented

My plans currently are to make a new crate and AUR package, though a Nix package is an interesting idea.

I don't yet know what to name the fork though. Some ideas on the top of my head are:

  • rip 2: Electric Boogaloo rip-electric-boogaloo
  • rip-XL rip-xl
  • rip-reap rip-reap

Could just go for reap and keep it a single word? I had rimp in my head earlier today

It's been a few months since I last checked this, is there anything y'all want to see added to rip?

lockieluke commented

Idk a command for listing all deleted entries?

I can only think of smaller things like confirmation for the deletion of very large files, warning if you're doing something dumb like rip ~, or a form of logging if that's not a thing already
