Zsh clipboard plugin that adds cross-platform helper functions to access the system clipboard. Works on macOS, X11 (and Wayland), Cygwin, MSYS2, and WSL (1 and 2).
pbcopy- pipe something to this function, e.g.echo Hello world | pbcopy, and it will be copied to system clipboard.pbpaste- show the contents of the system clipboard, e.g.pbpaste | grep Hello.clip- a wrapper around the two previous functions. If you do not pipe something to it, the function will show the clipboard contents; otherwise, it will copy something to the clipboard.

ln -s /path/to/clipboard ~/.zprezto/modules/clipboardAlternatively, you can add the zpm-zsh/clipboard repository as a submodule to your prezto repo by manually editing the '.gitmodules' file:
[submodule "modules/clipboard"]
path = modules/clipboard
