gomi

🗑️ Replacement for UNIX rm command!

gomi (ごみ/go-mi means a trash in Japanese) is a simple trash tool that works on CLI, written in Go

The concept of the trashcan does not exist in Command-line interface (CLI). If you have deleted an important file by mistake with the rm command, it would be difficult to restore. Then, it's this gomi. Unlike rm command, it is possible to easily restore deleted files because gomi have the trashcan for the CLI.

Features

Like a rm command but not unlink (delete) in fact (just move to another place)
Easy to restore, super intuitive
Compatible with rm command, e.g. -r, -f options
Nice UI, awesome CLI UX
Easy to see what gomi does with setting GOMI_LOG=[trace|debug|info|warn|error]
