Rip

Rip is a command-line tool for deleting files and directories in Unix-like systems, designed as a safer and more user-friendly alternative to the traditional 'rm' command. It moves files to a trash or recycle bin instead of permanently deleting them, allowing for recovery if needed, and includes features like confirmation prompts and verbose output to prevent accidental data loss.

Also known as: rip, rip-cli, rip-tool, rip-command, rip-delete

🧊Why learn Rip?

Developers should use Rip when working in terminal environments where file deletion is frequent, as it reduces the risk of accidentally removing important files or directories. It is particularly useful in development workflows involving temporary files, build artifacts, or configuration changes, where reversible operations enhance safety and productivity.
