Bash - Trash Command

For the solution, we will separate each task into separate commands, and then combine then into one trash command.
Move Files Into Trash Folder
Make Trash Folder
In the default directory, we will make a directory for storing trash, then a directory for storing logs.
$ mkdir ~/trash ~/logs
Move Items to Trash
This will move a file to trash. We will make this configurable later.
$ mv file_name.txt ~/trash
Log Actions in a File
Add a Timestamp
This will return a timestamp in the format: HH:MM:SS.
$ date | cut --delimiter " " --fields 4
13:37:13
Log Files
$ date 1>> timestamp
