tolerate -f and -rf input about trash HOT 4 CLOSED

👍 for this options

from trash.

Why?

from trash.

I have an alias set up for the sake of muscle memory and reduced keystrokes:

alias rm=trash

trash removes recursively by default which is great, but I still have a habit of typing -rf. It would be nice if trash would just ignore those options and proceed with the trashing, instead of outputting usage:

/tmp » mkdir foo

/tmp » alias rm=trash

/tmp » rm -rf foo
Cross-platform command-line app for moving files and directories to the trash - A safer alternative to `rm`

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

Example
  $ trash unicorn.png rainbow.png

from trash.

Sorry, I don't want to enable that.

From readme:

You should not alias rm to trash however as that would break most scripts relying on rm behaviour. Rather use trash from the CLI and in your own scripts. I would also recommend reading my guide on safeguarding rm.

If you want something short, alias it to th or something ;)

from trash.
