# roxide
`roxide` is a lightweight, high-performance alternative to the traditional `rm` command, designed with an emphasis on speed and data preservation. Unlike standard rm, which permanently deletes files, roxide safely moves them to a designated "`trash`" directory. This approach enables efficient and fast file removal without risking unintended data loss.
## Getting started
![Tutorial][tutorial]
## Features
- `roxide` _filename_ : files will moved to `trash dir`. ie, $HOME/.local/share/Trash/files/
- `roxide --revert` : restors perviously removed file/directory
## Installation
## Build
```bash
git clone https://github.com/abhi-xyz/roxide.git --depth=1
cd roxide
cargo build --release
cp target/release/roxide /usr/local/bin/
```
### Nixos
Add `roxide` as a flake input: In your flake.nix file, add the roxide input pointing to its GitHub repository.
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs";
roxide = {
url = "github:abhi-xyz/roxide";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; # Follows the nixpkgs input
};
};
outputs = { self, roxide, nixpkgs, ... }@inputs:
{
# Your NixOS configuration or other settings
};
}
```
Include roxide in NixOS configuration: In the outputs section, set up nixosConfigurations and add roxide as a module to enable it within your system configuration.
```nix
{
outputs = { self, roxide, nixpkgs, ... }@inputs:
{
nixosConfigurations."my-nixos-host" = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
modules = [
./hosts/configuration.nix # Main NixOS configuration file
roxide.nixosModules.roxide # Enable the "roxide" module from the flake
];
};
};
}
```
Activate "roxide" in configuration.nix: Within configuration.nix, enable the "roxide" program:
```nix
{
# Other configurations...
program.roxide.enable = true; # note: its program not programs
}
```
Apply Configuration: After updating your configuration, apply it with:
```bash
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
```

## Planned Features
- roxide --revert: Restores files from the trash directory to their original location.
- roxide --gc <TIME_PERIOD>: Performs garbage collection on trashed files, automatically clearing files older than a specified period.
- roxide -f: Forces deletion without moving files to the trash directory.
- roxide -s: Shreds files for secure deletion.
