you 're right! Those who understand the basics of Linux understand this command! rm -rf . If this command is not used properly, its lethality is extremely high!
The famous rm -rf tragedy!
On May 28, 2015, Ctrip suspected that the service was suspended due to the wrong operation of employees
On February 2, 2017, GitLab administrator mistakenly deleted the production database
On April 5, 2017, DigitalOcean had an accident of deleting the production database
On April 24, 2018, Kuriko announced that all data on the host was lost due to the technical personnel rm -rf / *
......
Just a while ago, bloggers even stepped on the pit!!!!
The online environment found some similar named in a directory png file! So I almost want to delete it manually.
Click and enter the following command RM - RF * > png Enter ~????
???? Last 0.5 seconds
???? Last 1 second
???? Last 1.5 seconds
???? Last 2 seconds
???? ， Ctrl + C
Look at the directory quickly ls
???? Nearly half of the documents were deleted
what the hell! What about this? The directory file is basically code. The backup was 6 months ago. I was lazy and changed the directory code directly online!!!!
Run away!!!
????， Joking, running doesn't exist. Even if you run, you have to fix this problem! It was finally solved after two days.
To prevent this from happening! Especially online servers! It's time to add a recycle bin function to him!
{card-list-item}
Open source project
There are many ways to introduce online. This recommends an open source project!

{/card-list-item} {card-list-item}
Deployment installation
requirement:
Python 7.3 is also OK
PIP (use apt get install Python pip on Debian to install pip)
Installation command:
pip install trash-cli
{/card-list-item}
{card-list-item}
Source installation
Install for all users:
git clone https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli.git cd trash-cli sudo pip install .
Install for current user:
git clone https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli.git cd trash-cli pip install .
After installing for the current user, you may need to add the following code to bashrc:
export PATH=~/.local/bin:"$PATH"
Uninstall command:

{/card-list-item}
{card-list-item}
usage method
trash-put Move files or directories to the recycle bin trash-empty Empty Trash trash-list List recycle bin files trash-restore Recover recycle bin files trash-rm Delete recycle bin files
To move files to the Recycle Bin:
$ trash-put
List recycle bin files:
$ trash-list 2008-06-01 10:30:48 /home/andrea/bar 2008-06-02 21:50:41 /home/andrea/bar 2008-06-23 21:50:49 /home/andrea/foo
Search for recycle bin files:
$ trash-list | grep foo 2007-08-30 12:36:00 /home/andrea/foo 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/foo
Recover recycle bin files:
$ trash-restore 0 2007-08-30 12:36:00 /home/andrea/foo 1 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/bar 2 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/bar2 3 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/foo2 4 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/foo What file to restore [0..4]: 4 $ ls foo foo
Delete all recycle bin files:
$ trash-empty
Delete the files recycled n days ago in the Recycle Bin:
$ trash-empty <days>
Example:
$ date Tue Feb 19 20:26:52 CET 2008 $ trash-list 2008-02-19 20:11:34 /home/einar/today 2008-02-18 20:11:34 /home/einar/yesterday 2008-02-10 20:11:34 /home/einar/last_week $ trash-empty 7 $ trash-list 2008-02-19 20:11:34 /home/einar/today 2008-02-18 20:11:34 /home/einar/yesterday $ trash-empty 1 $ trash-list 2008-02-19 20:11:34 /home/einar/today
Delete only files that match a pattern:
$ trash-rm \*.o
Note: use double quotation marks around the pattern to avoid shell expansion.
Regularly empty the recycle bin, which can be realized by crontab
The following command empties the contents of the recycle bin 3 days ago at 0 o'clock every day
0 0 * * * trash-empty 3
{/card-list-item}
{card-list-item}
common problem
{collapse item label = "how do I create a top-level. Trash directory?" open} Steps:
sudo mkdir --parent /.Trash sudo chmod a+rw /.Trash sudo chmod +t /.Trash
{/collapse-item} {collapse item label = "can I set the alias of rm to trash put?"} Yes, but it shouldn't. I thought it was a good idea before, but now I don't think so. Although the trash put interface looks compatible with rm, they have different syntax, which can lead to some problems. For example, when rm is used to delete a directory, - R is required, but trash put is not required. {/collapse-item} {collapse item label = "but sometimes I forget to use trash put. Can't I really set an alias for rm?" open} You can set an alias for rm to remind you not to use it:
alias rm='echo "This is not the command you are looking for."; false'
If you really want to use rm, add a slash before rm to cancel the alias:
\rm file-without-hope
Note that Bash alias is only effective in the interactive interface, so using this alias will not affect the script using rm. {/collapse-item} {collapse item label = "where are the files moved to the recycle bin?" open} Files moved from the home partition to the recycle bin are here:
~/.local/share/Trash/
{/collapse-item}
{/card-list-item}
{card-list-item}

You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 21.2.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.Later, it was found that there was a problem with the psutil version. Just install the old version!
pip install psutil==5.7.0

Final description
Of course, there are many other solutions. For example, use alias!
alias rm='rm -i'
The following is the alias I currently use. I hope it will be helpful to you!
alias rm='echo "This is not the command you are looking for."; false' alias ls='ls --show-control-chars -F --color=auto' alias ll='ls -hl' alias la='ls -a' alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' alias less='less -R' alias cat='ccat' alias diff='colordiff' alias grep='grep --color=auto' alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'
