trash (based on rm)
Since you've reached this page, I assume you did the same bad thing I did before. After using rm very_important_file and later realize that you can't retrieve that file.
This is custom script used to avoid deleting files permanently and instead files will be moved to /Users/user_name/.Trash folder
sudo cp trash.sh /usr/local/bin/trash
you might need to restart the terminal or run source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bash_profile
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/trash
you might need to restart the terminal or run source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bash_profile
please make sure that local/bin PATH before /bin PATH
add export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" to .bash_profile or .bashrc to achive this
trash [OPTION]...FILE...
