gentle-fs is a standalone library for
"gently" remove or link directories.
$ npm install gentle-fs
// todo
> rm(target, opts, cb)Will delete all directories between target and opts.base, as long as they are empty.
That is, if target is /a/b/c/d/e and base is /a/b, but /a/b/c has other files
besides the d directory inside of it, /a/b/c will remain.
rm(target, opts, cb)
> link(from, to, opts, cb)If from is a real directory, and from is not the same directory as to, will
symlink from to to, while also gently rming the to directory,
and then call the callback. Otherwise, will call callback with an Error.
link(from, to, opts, cb)
> linkIfExists(from, to, opts, cb)Performs the same operation as link, except does nothing when from is the
same as to, and calls the callback.
linkIfExists(from, to, opts, cb)
