``trash`` for macOS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a simple utility to send files to macOS's Trash from the command line.

This works on macOS Sonoma 14.5 (June 2024).

Download and install binary release

---------------------------------------

.. code-block:: bash

  curl -fSLO https://github.com/proprietary/macos-trash/releases/download/v1.0.0/trash

  sudo install ./trash /usr/local/bin

Usage

-------

.. code-block:: bash

   cd /tmp

   echo "hello world" > hello-world.txt

   trash hello-world.txt

This works on directories or regular files. I suggest using

``trash`` anywhere you would have used ``rm(1)``.

Currently, this command line tool cannot restore files. You will have

to open Trash in Finder and restore it from the GUI.

Building manually

-------------------

Build

=====

.. code-block:: bash

  git clone https://github.com/proprietary/macos-trash
