xcreep is an easy wrapper for xclip made in Go.
Simply
go get github.com/gmelodie/xcreep
- Copy the contents of a file, say
example.txt, to the clipboard:
./xcreep example.txt
- Paste it wherever you want with CTRL+V or Right-click > Paste.
If you are on a different directory, just use either the absolute or the relative paths to that file:
./xcreep /home/root/flag.txt # absolute path
./xcreep ../root/flag.txt # relative path (if you are in /home/some-dir)
Because I was tired of (1) having to look up how to copy to clipboard with xclip and
(2) not being able to cat file.txt > xclip or cat file.txt | xclip or simply xclip file.txt
But you can just make a simple script to wrap xclip
I know, but it was fun coding it in Go though
