rm-safely

Shell safety net that adds a trash/undo layer to the rm command.

Desktopfreeglobal

rm-safely is a free, open-source, lightweight shell function that wraps the rm command with a safety net, especially for the default macOS rm. Instead of permanently deleting files, it routes them to a recoverable trash location, aimed at command-line users who want protection from accidental deletion.
