Clipboard managers warper written in POSIX sh
## 💡 About
`cb` is a clipboard managers warper written in POSIX sh that wraps various system-specific tools for interacting with a system clipboard.
This is literally a port of [`clipboard.zsh` plugin](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/master/lib/clipboard.zsh) from [Oh My Zsh](https://github.com/ohmyzsh) as a stand alone utility.
### ✨ Features
- Work with `tee` like pipeline (e.g: `ls | cb | grep -e 'string'`)
- Supported clipboard managers are:
- `pbcopy`, `pbpaste`
- `cygwin`
- [`wl-clipboard`](https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard)
- [`xclip`](https://github.com/astrand/xclip)
- [`xsel`](http://www.kfish.org/software/xsel)
- [`lemonade`](https://github.com/pocke/lemonade)
- [`doitclient`](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/doit)
- `win32yank`
- [`termux-api`](https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Termux:API)
- [`tmux`](http://tmux.github.io)
