Deleted files get sent to the graveyard (=/tmp/.graveyard= by default, under their absolute path) instead of being unlinked, 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.

If you want to put the graveyard somewhere else (like =~/.local/share/Trash= ), you have two options, in order of precedence:
1. Alias =rip= to =rip --graveyard ~/.local/share/Trash=
2. Set the environment variable =$GRAVEYARD= to =~/.local/share/Trash=

This can be a good idea because if the graveyard is mounted on an in-memory filesystem, (as /tmp is in Arch Linux), deleting large files can quickly fill up your RAM. It's also much slower to move files across filesystems, although the delay should be minimal with an SSD.

A deletion log is kept in =.rip_history= , found in the top level of the graveyard.

*** Notes
- In general, a deletion followed by a =--resurrect= should be idempotent.
- You probably shouldn't alias =rm= to =rip= . =rm -r= is two characters longer, anyway.
