Access the system clipboard (copy/paste) - cross-platform
$ npm install --global clipboard-cli
$ clipboard --help
Example
$ echo ? | clipboard
$ clipboard
?
Run it with $ cb instead by adding alias cb=clipboard to your .zshrc/.bashrc.

Hey folks! I'm new to this repository, but I'm a huge fan of this tool and would love to help improve it where I can.
Personally, I think the next step for this tool is to have self-contained executables that could be installed via Chocolatey, Brew, etc. I forked the repo and did some testing on my end and I've not had any issues with the built executables.
I'd be more than happy to continue this work and set up distribution via Chocolatey, Brew, etc., I just don't wanna do this if there's no interest so I figured I'd ask before continuing forward :)
When running inside tmux it will throw error. Seems like it is the underlying clipboardy that does not handle tmux environment well.

Added timeout to getStdin:
In some CLI the if (process.stdin.isTTY || process.env.STDIN === '0') check isn't enough. Some CLI like git bash on windows just hang on the getStdin call. Solved this by using a getStdin function with support for timeout.
Removed trailing new lines: Trying to paste something into the cli and having it paste a new line which runs an uncompleted command is not great. Keep new lines in the middle to support copying multi line text, but remove trailing new lines to prevent unnecessary commands to run.
