What does HackerNews think of trash-cli?

For Linux there's [trash-cli](https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/). Doesn't seem to work for MacOS per this issue (https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/issues/284), but it suggests to use https://hasseg.org/trash/

Reminds me somewhat of trash-cli:

For Linux users: also look into the trash-cli [1] package, which complies with the FreeDesktop.org trash specification and remembers the original path, etc. so that trash items can be restored even with filename collisions. Then it's

    trash-put my_file.txt

I use fzf [0] with zsh. I frequently use the Ctrl-T and Ctrl-R commands for finding files and searching history, respectively. Ctrl-R without fzf is great too, but with fzf you can see more of the history than just the currently selected entry. I hardly do `history | grep` anymore.

I've also been using trash-cli [1] for years with `rm` aliased to `trash-put`. It's saved me a handful of times when I've carelessly `rm`d something I shouldn't have.

I do backups, of course, but I also have rm aliased to

    echo "Bad! Use `trash` instead."; return 1

and use trash-cli [1] instead, which moves the target files and folders to the Linux equivalent of the Recycle Bin. If I mess up, my files are one restore-trash command from being recovered. Every so often I trash-empty to free up space.

How about replacing rm with something like https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli ? If you only purge the trash when it's necessary and not automatically after every rm, you'd save yourself.
