trashy: Restore a specific file from the trash.
$ trash restore ${file}
try on your machine

The command "trash restore ${file}" is used to restore a file from the trash bin.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "trash" refers to a command or utility used to manage a trash bin or recycle bin on a system. It is often found in Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux or macOS.

  • "restore" is an argument or sub-command that tells the "trash" utility to restore a file from the trash bin.

  • "${file}" represents a placeholder for the actual filename or file path of the file you want to restore. You need to replace "${file}" with the specific file you're trying to restore.

For example, if you have a file named "document.txt" in the trash bin that you want to restore, the command would be:

trash restore document.txt

Executing this command will attempt to restore the "document.txt" file from the trash bin to its original location.
