clip: Copy text with a trailing newline to the Windows clipboard.

echo

$ echo ${some text} | clip

try on your machine

This command is used to copy the output of the "echo" command into the clipboard.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"echo" is a command in many programming and scripting languages that simply prints or displays a message or text on the terminal or console. In this case, "${some text}" is the text that will be echoed.
"| clip" is known as a pipe operator. It is used to redirect the output of one command to another command or utility. In this case, the output of the "echo" command is being piped to the "clip" utility.
"clip" is a command-line utility in Windows that is used to copy text or output directly to the clipboard. So, the output of the "echo" command will be copied to the clipboard, making it available for pasting elsewhere (for example, in another application or document).

Overall, the command is essentially echoing the specified text and then copying it to the clipboard for easy access and reuse.
