-# How to Contribute to `resrm`
-
-Thanks for your interest in contributing to `resrm`! This guide walks you through the process step by step so you can send contributions with confidence.
-
-### For external contributors
-
-1. **Fork the repository** via GitHub: click *Fork* at the top right.
-2. **Clone your fork**:
-
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/resrm.git
-   cd resrm
-   ```
-3. **Add the upstream repo** so you can sync later:
-
-   ```bash
-   git remote add upstream https://github.com/mdaleo404/resrm.git
-   ```
-4. **Create a feature branch**:
-
-   ```bash
-   git checkout -b feature/my-new-thing
-   ```
-5. Make your changes and test them locally.
-6. **Push to your fork**:
-
-   ```bash
-   git push -u origin feature/my-new-thing
-   ```
-7. Open a **Pull Request** targeting the `main` branch of the upstream repo.
-
-### For maintainers
-
-You may create branches directly in the main repository without forking.
-
-## Commit Message Style Commit Message Style
-
-To keep the automated changelog clean, follow this commit style:
-
-**Format:**
-
-```
-type: short description
-```
-
-**Accepted types:**
-
-* `feat:` new features
-* `fix:` bug fixes
-* `refactor:` internal improvements
-* `perf:` performance changes
-* `docs:` documentation updates
-* `chore:` maintenance
-* `test:` test-only changes
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```
-feat: add --dry-run flag
-fix: handle unicode paths
-refactor: simplify cleanup logic
-```
-
-Don’t overthink it — the maintainer can adjust commit types during merge if needed.
-
-## What Happens After You Submit a PR?
-
-After reviewing your changes, your PR (hopefully) gets merged. Then:
-
-* **Release Please** automatically creates a **release PR** summarizing changes
-* The maintainer merges that release PR
-* A GitHub Release is created
-* The package is published to PyPI
-* Wheels, source tarballs, and checksums are attached to the GitHub Release
-
-No need to bump versions manually (unless needed).
-
-## Code Style
-
-* Follow standard Python formatting
-* Add type hints when possible
-* Keep functions small and readable
-* Stick to clear naming
-
-## Need Help, Found a Bug, Have a Request?
-
-If you're unsure about anything:
-
-* **Open an issue**
-* Start a discussion
-* Ask questions before writing lots of code
-
-## Thank You
-
-Your contributions — large or small — help make `resrm` better for everyone. Thanks for being part of the project!

-# resrm
-
-**resrm** is a safe, drop-in replacement for the Linux `rm` command with **undo/restore support**.  
-It moves files to a per-user _trash_ instead of permanently deleting them, while still allowing full `sudo` support for root-owned files.
-
----
-
-## Features
-
-- Move files and directories to a **trash folder** instead of permanent deletion  
-- Restore deleted files by **short ID or exact basename**  
-- Empty trash safely  
-- Supports `-r`, `-f`, `-i`, `--perma` options  
-- Works with `sudo` for root-owned files  
-

-Either install `resrm` as `root` (_preferred_), use `sudo -E resrm`, or add the `$PATH` to `/etc/sudoers` using its `Defaults secure_path` parameter.
