> Move files and folders to the trash

Works on OS X, Linux, and Windows.

In contrast to [`rm`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_(Unix)) which is [dangerous](http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix3/upt/ch14_03.htm) and permanently delete files, this only moves them to the trash, which is much safer and reversible. You should not alias `rm` to `trash` however as that would break most scripts relying on `rm` behavior. Rather use `trash` from the CLI and in your own scripts. I would also recommend reading my guide on [safeguarding `rm`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/guides/blob/master/how-not-to-rm-yourself.md#safeguard-rm).


## Install

```
$ npm install --global trash-cli
```


## Usage

```
$ trash --help

  Usage
    $ trash <path|glob> [...]

  Examples
    $ trash unicorn.png rainbow.png
    $ trash '*.png' '!unicorn.png'
```


## Tip

Add `alias t=trash` to your `.zshrc`/`.bashrc` to reduce typing: `$ t unicorn.png`.
