Safe Rm
Safe Rm is a command-line utility designed to prevent accidental file deletion by moving files to a trash or recycle bin instead of permanently removing them. It serves as a safer alternative to the standard 'rm' command in Unix-like systems, providing a safety net for users who might mistakenly delete important files. The tool typically integrates with system trash mechanisms or creates a dedicated trash directory, allowing for file recovery if needed.
Developers should use Safe Rm when working in terminal environments where accidental deletions are common, such as during file cleanup, script execution, or system administration tasks. It is particularly valuable in production or development servers where critical data loss could occur, offering peace of mind and reducing the risk of irreversible mistakes compared to the standard 'rm' command.
