    alias trash-put from trash-cli in both sudo and user.

    myrm() {
  trash-put "$@"
}
alias rm="myrm"

    This has saved my ass so many times. Especially when typing “rm * .png” instead of “rm *.png”

    Can restore the files using the cli or from system recycling bin.

    The alias to rm is probably not best. So getting use to using another name is probably best. But I’m never had a problem with it.

      Or just use snapshots. If you are into aliases make an alias for rm to make a snapshot before deleting something.

      I’ve never ran into any issues from using rm but I like this idea and will be using it as I only see positives

        Downsides can be inconsistent behavior. As with any alias it’s not meant to be anything but a replacement in your shell. Scripts/SSH etc.

        Also, you gotta remember to empty your trash. :)
