safeutils

coreutil replacements that aim to protect me from overwriting work.

About

I lost work by accident one to many times, so I decided to make some safe replacements and added a few nice modern features for fun.

Features

• Verbose by default
• Safe clobber strategys
  • trash - move files to trash but rename conflicts (name)_00.(ext) (name)_01.(ext)...
  • backup - rename original file to (original).backup~ and trash any previous backups.
• trash can use fzf to revert and fetch trashed files, and provieds a nice trash previewer.

trash (rm replacement)

--revert-fzf and --fetch-fzf have a custom fzf preview with...

• A header section with the original path, file type, and file size.
• A content section where text is printed, non-text prints binary data except images can optionaly be displayed with viu

USAGE: trash files.. (--flags)
  Move files to the trash.
  Revert trash fetch back to where they came from. 
  Fetch trash files to current dir.

  Revert and Fetch: (linux-only)
    -r --revert trashfile     Revert a trash file to its original location.
    -f --fetch  trashfile     Fetch a trash file to the current directory.
                              Fetch and Revert also manage .trashinfo files.

    FZF: 
    -R --revert-fzf           Use fzf to revert a trash file. 
    -F --fetch-fzf            Use fzf to fetch a trash file to the current dir.

    FZF Preview Options: (Combine with --revert-fzf or --fetch-fzf)
    --viu                  Add support for viu block image display in fzf preview.
    --viu-width            Overwrite the width viu images are displated at.
    --fzf-preview-window   Overwrite the --preview-window fzf flag. (see fzf --help)

  Other Flags:
  -s --silent               Only print errors.
  -V --version              Print version.
  -h --help                 Display this help.
 
  OPTIONAL DEPS:
  fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf (fuzzy find)
  viu: https://github.com/atanunq/viu  (image preview)

move (mv replacement)

Usage: move src.. dest (--flags)
  Move or rename a file, or move multiple files into a directory.
  When moveing files into a directory dest must have '/' at the end.
  When moving multiple files last path must be a directory and have a '/' at the end.

  Move will not partially move src.. paths. Everyting must move or nothing will move.

  Clobber Style:
    (default)     Print error and exit
    -t --trash    Move original dest to trash
    -b --backup   Rename original dest (original).backup~

    If both clober flags are found it choose backup over trash.

  Rename:
    -r --rename   Replace only the src basename with dest. 
                  Only works with one src path.
    example:
      ($ move --rename /example/oldname.zig newname.zig) results in /example/newname.zig

  Other Flags:
    -s --silent   Only print errors
    -V --version  Print version
    -h --help     Print this help
