Terminal clipboard manager to cut, copy and paste anything, anywhere

About Clipboard

Clipboard, from the Clipboard Project, is a free command-line clipboard manager that lets you cut, copy and paste files, folders and text directly from the terminal. It supports unlimited separate clipboards and history, regex-based manipulation and scripting, and integrates with system clipboards on Linux, macOS and Windows. It is aimed at developers and terminal users who move data around all day and want clipboard superpowers without a heavyweight graphical application.
