Stop Using `rm` in Bash. Use `del`

We’ve all had our fair share of accidentally removing files. Instead of

  rm my_file.txt

or

  rm -rf my_folder

we do

  del my_file.txt

or

  del my_folder

where you can define your Bash alias for `del` in ~/.custom_aliases as

  function del() {
      mv $* ~/.Trash
  }

which simply moves your files/folders to the trash such that you can recover them easily later.

What’s your alternative?
