Simple file/directory backups

Bak - Simple file & directory backups

Have you ever been annoyed by typing cp some_file some_file.bak? No more! Just use bak some_file and it will automatically create a copy with the .bak extension.

Have you ever run mv some_directory.bak some_directory just to find out that some_directory still exists and now you have some_directory/some_directory.bak? No more! Just use unbak some_directory.bak and you're good.

bak and unbak work for both files and directories the same way, with no hassling around.

Installation

First, clone this git repository

git clone [email protected]:mimre25/bak.git

or

git clone https://github.com/mimre25/bak.git

Then, run

cargo build --release

to build the binaries.

Last, copy the binaries from target/release/bak and target/release/unbak to some place on your path, or add target/release to your path.

Anything else?

Nah, that's all. Just wanted to solve this little problem for myself and explore rust a bit on the way.
