# $
`$` handles pasting and executing a command copied from the internet. Many
command-line examples are represented with a `$`, which requires you to remove
the first argument (`$`) before executing. This fixes this issue and allows
copy-paste-and-execute without having to worry on removing the dollar sign.
## Installing
Copy `$` to somewhere your `PATH` can find, for example: `/usr/local/bin/`.
Or run `make install` for installing to `/usr/local/bin`
## Usage
Copy a command from the internet (be careful!) and paste to your command-line
without removing the `$`.
### Before installing `$`
```sh
$ ls
zsh: command not found: $
$ ls -al
zsh: command not found: $
```
### After installing `$`
```sh
$ ls
$ LICENSE README.md
$ ls -al
