Why do I need the CWD on the clipboard
I’m in the terminal all day. While in the terminal, I usually have several tabs open (testing, logging, etc.). Being the lazy developer that I am, I got tired of typing the path to the application several times a day. So I needed to store the cwd on the clipboard without using the mouse. Lazy, remember?
Placing the CWD on the clipboard
Piping the current working directory on the clipboard is really simple.
pwd | pbcopy
This places the current working directory on the clipboard so I can just paste it in and be in the app directory in seconds with the least amount of typing as possible.
