trash-cli

Move files and folders to the trash

Works on macOS (10.12+), Linux, and Windows (8+).

In contrast to rm which is dangerous and permanently deletes files, this only moves them to the trash, which is much safer and reversible. I would also recommend reading my guide on safeguarding rm.

Accepts paths and glob patterns.

Install

npm install --global trash-cli

Usage

$ trash --help

  Usage
    $ trash <path|glob> […]

  Examples
    $ trash unicorn.png rainbow.png
    $ trash '*.png' '!unicorn.png'

Tip

Add alias rm=trash to your .zshrc/.bashrc to reduce typing & safely trash files: $ rm unicorn.png.
