trash is a command-line application for moving files and folders into the trash. A safer alternative to rm.

Install trash

trash works across all major platforms. You can directly install the binary from GitHub:

sh curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajeetdsouza/trash/master/install.sh | sh

If you would rather not run a script, you can download the binary from the Releases page and add it to your PATH environment variable.
