Decision brief
rm-safely
Good fit when
- When you want to ensure accidental file deletions can be recovered, rm-safely provides an essential safety net for Unix-like systems.
- For users who frequently navigate command-line interfaces on Linux or MacOS and wish to prevent irreversible mistakes while using the 'rm' command.
Avoid when
- Avoid if you are working within environments where strict compliance with standard Unix commands is required, as rm-safely modifies this behavior.
- Do not use in scenarios where the overhead of additional safeguards for file removal is unnecessary or unwanted for operational efficiency reasons.
