# 🗑️ Rmt.rs
Fun fact: Stable diffusion generated this logo 🎨
**Rmt** is similar to the **rm** command, but it allows me to **save the deleted elements in the trash**. If you wish, you can restore the previously deleted elements of your choice (or delete them forever) with a **cli**.
## 👨🏽💻 Installation
### ⚡️ Quick start
Download the binary depending on your configuration here: https://github.com/AmineZouitine/rmt.rs/releases
Then you just need to enter this command in your terminal:
```sh
tar -xf rmt && sudo mv rmt /usr/local/bin
````
### 😎 Pro tip (optional)
Add **rmt** as an **alias** instead of the **rm** command.
## Features
### 🚮 Delete an element (but it is saved in the trash don't worry)
```sh
rmt [OPTION]... [FILE|FOLDER]...
Exemples:
rmt text.txt
rmt * -- -text.txt
rmt folder test.txt *.sh
```
✨ I like to use **-f** option, to remove all the warnings.
### 📺 Launch GUI to restore or flush elements
```sh
rmt --td
```
### ❌ Flush all element from the trash
```sh
rmt --tf
```
### 🔎 Informations about the trash
```sh
rmt --ti
```
## 🔧 Using the configuration file (Not stable yet)
You can customize the behavior of the trash bin by editing the configuration file located at **~/.trash_rmt/config_rmt.yml**.
Currently, you have the option to encrypt your data so that it becomes unreadable from the trash. Compression is a feature that will be available in the future.
```yml
compression: true
encryption: true
trash: null
```
