cb

Clipboard manager for Linux and macOS.

cb is a utility that allows you to get and set values on the system clipboard.

Using cb is quite simple. Getting the current clipboard value is done via the following:

cb get

When setting a value on the system clipboard, simply pipe the value to cb:

echo foo | cb set

Finally, to clear a value from the clipboard, do the following:

cb clear

Install Rust and then do:

cargo install cb

For Debian-based Linux distributions, install the system dependencies:

sudo apt install xorg-dev libxcb-present-dev

Then, compile the binary:
