Pipe output to your clipboard

Omg.. for years on linux & then macos I've been doing cat file.txt and then copying it from the terminal into the clipboard.

I just learned on macos you can use pbcopy like so

cat sample.txt | pbcopy to get the file contents directly in your clipboard.

This works for command outputs as well. If you just want the file directly you can run pbcopy < sample.txt
