Trash-CLI
Trash-CLI is a command-line interface tool for managing the trash/recycle bin on Unix-like systems, providing a safer alternative to the 'rm' command by moving files to the trash instead of permanently deleting them. It allows users to list, restore, and empty trash contents, helping prevent accidental data loss. The tool integrates with the FreeDesktop.org Trash specification, ensuring compatibility with desktop environments like GNOME and KDE.
Developers should use Trash-CLI when working in terminal environments to avoid irreversible file deletions, especially during scripting or bulk file operations where mistakes can be costly. It is particularly useful for system administrators and developers managing files on servers or development machines, as it adds a safety net while maintaining command-line efficiency. For example, it can be integrated into scripts to handle temporary file cleanup without risking permanent removal.
