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.
## Commands
Files are displayed in an interactive table, allowing them to be sorted, filtered, and selectively operated on.
