copy-pasta
A shell utility for copying and pasting files in the terminal with GUI-like convenience.
Overview
Copy Pasta is a shell utility that enables users to copy and paste files in the terminal with the same ease and familiarity as in a graphical user interface. It provides a seamless workflow for moving files between directories without cluttering the system clipboard, making it especially useful for developers working across multiple terminal sessions or tmux panes.
Key Features
- GUI-like Copy/Paste — Mimics the copy-paste behavior of graphical interfaces directly in the terminal.
- Cross-Terminal Compatibility — Works across different terminal sessions, including tmux panes.
- Clipboard-Free Operation — Does not interfere with or pollute the system clipboard.
- Flexible Destination Handling — Automatically creates destination directories if they don’t exist.
Philosophy
Copy Pasta prioritizes simplicity and intuitive interaction, aiming to reduce friction in terminal-based file management by adopting familiar GUI paradigms.
