Terminal recycle bin.

[Rob Brew]

Dear Sir / Madam.

I hope you are well.

I wrote a script in bash to backup files before moving, copying or 
deleting them, it's at https://gitlab.com/rydal1/save-my-bacon.

I  wondered if this could become part of the core cp, mv and rm commands?

As explained it backs up files before deleting them or overwriting them 
to a /recycled directory.

On deleting more than 1Gb of data (or as set by root) it asks the user 
if they want to continue to delete said files.

It doesn't get invoked on deleting from /recycled and can be bypassed 
with "-z".

It can also be applied to rsync, scp and ln).

I have a friend who knows C (I don't) who can submit a pull request if 
you're interested.

Thanks,

      Rob Brew.
