bash-trash
============
Instead of `rm`'ing files into the void, put them in your trash/recycle bin
Installation
------------
### bics
Use [bics](https://github.com/bahamas10/bics) to manage this plugin
After installing `bics`, install this plugin by running
bics install git://github.com/bahamas10/bash-trash.git
### manual
Add the code to your `~/.bashrc`
Usage
-----
Instead of using `rm`, you can just use the function `trash`. Running `trash` without
arguments shows an overview of the current trash directory.
```
$ trash
/Users/dave/.Trash: trash is empty
```
We can see that the trash directory (`$TRASH_DIR`) is empty, let's trash some files
```
$ trash fileA fileB fileC
$ trash
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileA
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileB
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileC
24K total
```
The overview present by `trash` shows file sizes as well as a grand total (via `du`)
Unlike `rm`, you can `trash` directories just like you would with files, as the underlying command
used to do this is `mv`.
```
$ mkdir dirA dirB dirC
$ trash dirA dirB dirC
$ trash
0B /Users/dave/.Trash/dirA
0B /Users/dave/.Trash/dirB
0B /Users/dave/.Trash/dirC
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileA
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileB
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileC
24K total
```
If you `trash` a file with the same name as a file already in the `trash`, it is
given a unique name (similar to how a browser handles downloading multiple files of the same name).
```
$ touch fileA
$ trash fileA
$ trash
0B /Users/dave/.Trash/dirA
0B /Users/dave/.Trash/dirB
0B /Users/dave/.Trash/dirC
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileA
0B /Users/dave/.Trash/fileA.1
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileB
8.0K /Users/dave/.Trash/fileC
24K total
```
And finally, to really remove the data, simply empty the trash
```
$ emptytrash
$ trash
/Users/dave/.Trash: trash is empty
```
Also, consider adding something like this to your `~/.bashrc`
``` bash
alias rm=trash
```
