* rip (Rm ImProved)
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.
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 could alias =rip= to =rip --graveyard ~/.local/share/Trash=. This can be a good idea because if the graveyard is in a tmpfs mount, deleting large files can quickly fill up your RAM. It's also slower than moving files within the same filesystem.
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 in a tmpfs mount, deleting large files can quickly fill up your RAM. It's also much slower to move files across filesystems, although the delay should be unnoticable with an SSD.
