Cursh
- Note: At this point cursh is a low effort tool for an unusual use case quickly hacked together. Unless anyone finds it actually usefull it will probably stay that way.
What is it?
If a program expects files as arguments and you want to use your system clipboard as the input instead, you can leave a placeholder in the command and cursh passes your clipboard contents as a temporary file to the command.
Installation
Using Cargo
cargo install cursh
From Source (still using cargo)
git clone https://github.com/tacklebox/cursh.git
cd cursh
cargo install --path .
Usage Example
cursh diff {{1}} {{2}}
Then copy some text, return to the terminal you ran cursh in, and hit enter. That text is now a temporary file in the position of the placeholder {{1}}. Next, Copy what you would like to diff the previous texts against, return to the terminal and hit enter to execute the diff command and see the output.
