Trash CLI

Trash CLI is a cross-platform command-line utility for moving files and folders to the operating system trash instead of permanently deleting them. It is designed as a safer alternative to using rm for everyday cleanup tasks. The command accepts individual paths as well as glob patterns, including exclusions for files that should be preserved. An optional dotfile setting allows glob patterns to include hidden files. Verbose mode prints the items that were moved, making scripted cleanup easier to inspect. It works on macOS, Linux, and Windows and can be installed globally through npm. Users can even alias rm to trash for a more reversible default deletion workflow.
