Bin Chicken is a command line application written in the Rust programming language. It is designed to be a safer alternative to the rm command in Unix-like operating systems. Instead of permanently deleting files, Bin Chicken moves them to the system bin. This allows you to recover accidentally deleted files, while still providing a way to clean up your file system.

To install Bin Chicken, you will need to have the Rust programming language installed on your system. You can check if you have Rust installed by running the following command:

rustc --version

If you don't have Rust installed, you can follow the instructions on the Rust website to install it.

Once you have Rust installed, you can install Bin Chicken by running the following command:

cargo install bin_chicken

To use Bin Chicken, simply pass it the path of the file or directory you want to move to the bin. For example, if you want to move the file my_file.txt to the bin, you would run the following command:

bin_chicken my_file.txt

If you want to use Bin Chicken as a drop-in replacement for rm, you can create an alias by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file:

alias rm="bin_chicken"

This will allow you to use rm as you normally would, but it will actually run Bin Chicken instead, moving the files to the bin instead of permanently deleting them.

Currently, Bin Chicken is MacOS only and does not support wildcard characters such as * for matching multiple files or directories. You will need to specify each path individually.

• Add support for undoing the last command
• Add support for * wildcards
• Add support for other platforms
