How can I copy the output of a command directly into my clipboard12.04.25

## install xclip
```
    sudo apt-get install xclip
```

## Setup Alias

```
alias "ccb=xclip -selection clipboard"
alias "c=xclip"
alias "v=xclip -o"
```

## Usage example
```
cat mytext.txt |  ccb 
pwd | ccb 
```

Pipe the output into xclip to be copied into the clipboard:

cat file | xclip

Paste the text you just copied into a X application:

xclip -o

To paste somewhere else other than an X application, such as a text area of a web page in a browser window, use:

cat file | xclip -selection clipboard

Consider creating an alias:

alias "c=xclip"
alias "v=xclip -o"

To see how useful this is, imagine I want to open my current path in a new terminal window (there may be other ways of doing it like Ctrl+T on some systems, but this is just for illustration purposes):

Terminal 1:
pwd | c

Terminal 2:
cd `v`

Notice the ` ` around v. This executes v as a command first and then substitutes it in-place for cd to use.

Only copy the content to the X clipboard

cat file | xclip
