The Clipboard project is an easy-to-use terminal clipboard manager with many useful features.
Yuck, ugh, and puke! We can do better.
Clipboard is your time and effort saver to use anytime, anywhere in the terminal. Cut, copy, paste, add, remove, and make note of anything in your path, just how you would on a desktop! It's like having a helper with a perfect memory by your side. You'll be sitting on a sunny beach sipping a papaya smoothie with the love of your life in no time. Ok, so maybe that last part won't actually happen, but you get the idea:
🍹😎 Clipboard makes your life easy. 🏖️🌴
