Oscar Trash CLI

A CLI for managing your freedesktop.org trash

Introducing Oscar the Trash CLI

What is Oscar?

Oscar is an implementation of the Freedesktop.org trash specification written in Rust.

This project originates from my grievances with the CLI of Andrea Francia’s Trash CLI. I wanted a unified CLI, so I proposed it. The author, well within their rights, chose to reject the idea and politely suggested I write my own, so I took them up on that.

Why Rust?

Why not? I’ve been spending a lot of time learning this as a new programming language, and this project was a great opportunity to put that into practice. There are a few other good reasons as well:

  • Rust is a popular programming language, so that will make attracting contributors much easier.
  • Rust is relatively performant, so will make the UX for this CLI a much more fluid experience.
