Put files/folders you delete using rm into your Mac Trash Bin.

The following addition to your .bash_profile is super handy if you regularly use the command line/console on your Mac. Instead of simply deleting files forever it will instead put them into the .Trash folder in a unique sub-folder so you can recover them until you empty your bin. Very handy if you delete something by accident!

function rm () {
  local path
  for path in "$@"; do
    # ignore any arguments
    if [[ "$path" = -* ]]; then :
    else
      local dst=${path##*/}
      # append the time if necessary
      while [ -e ~/.Trash/"$dst" ]; do
        dst="$dst "$(date +%H-%M-%S)
      done
      mv "$path" ~/.Trash/"$dst"
    fi
  done
}
