A small command line program to interface with the XDG trash specification

gt

g(o)t(rash) is a simple, command line program to interface with the XDG Trash. Files in the trash may be listed, cleaned, or restored via an interactive table, and filtered with various flags.

Interactive Mode

Run with no args to start interactive mode. In interactive mode, files in the trash are displayed, and may be selected to either restore or remove permanently.

rm-like Trashing

Run with no command and only filename(s) as argument(s) to skip displaying files, sending them straight to the trash, in a quick, rm-like way.
