CLUSTER CLIPBOARD-COMMAND-COPIES · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-09-01

CLI clipboard copy tools

The cluster consists of command-line utilities that copy file contents, images, or selected text to the system clipboard, often for pasting into other applications. The dated history is sparse, with single entries in April 2021, June 2022, October 2022, May 2025, September 2025, and March 2026, and a grouping of three entries in July 2026. Traction leaders by activity signal are harvcode, cpcat, and ezc-bin, all reporting zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
