With full UTF-8 support.

Install

Download the binaries and put them somewhere in your %path%.

Usage

$ clipboard --copy < echo unicorn
$ clipboard --paste
unicorn

[!IMPORTANT] When piping into clipboard --copy, stdin must be UTF-8. In CMD, run chcp 65001 first. In Windows PowerShell, set $OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8. If your shell emits non-UTF-8, use clip.exe (CMD) or Set-Clipboard (PowerShell) instead.

Build

Install Rust and run:

cargo build --release
