Question

How can I copy the current path in the bash terminal, using just one command?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Needs xsel installed:

pwd | xsel -i

(if you don't want the trailing newline, use printf %s "$(pwd)" | xsel -i (mostly correct) pwd | head -c -1 | xsel -i (perfectly correct))

Update August 2014: The xsel program is broken: See my bugreport.

Probably you can get along with xclip as well.

OTHER TIPS

pwd | tr -d '\n' | pbcopy

Try this... Best I can come up with on my phone.
