I’m working on a new set of file tools that replace touch, mkdir, mv, cp and rm, in Rust. They are intended to have better defaults for using them interactively. Upvote if you’re interested (or shoot me an email/tweet), I’ll comment here when v1 is ready.

I thought that's uutils now, and maybe alias for the (subjective?) better defaults?

  Definitely aliases/new names. I love ripgrep and fd - but would go crazy if grep and find suddenly came with different defaults.

    I assume OP is talking about new tools, not replacement tools, so probably new binaries

Aren't defaults of these tools defined by POSIX? Doesn't changing them break shell scripts?

  They have different names, and I only rebind the standard POSIX tools in interactive shells (that’s totally optional, up to each user)
