A simple shell script that provides commands to cut, copy, and paste files from the command line. The motivation and basic usage is explained in this blog post.

I had previously implemented similar functionality as a much more complicated Python tool, which you can see in earlier commits of this repo.

Arrange for xcp.sh to be sourced by your shell, and run

mkdir ~/.xcp

once before using it.

xmark <files>  # add some files to the clipboard
xcp <dest>     # copy clipboard files somewhere
xmv <dest>     # move clipboard files somewhere

Note that the clipboard files can be copied to as many destinations as desired, but they can only be moved once.
