kitty:tldr:fb973

kitty: Copy the contents of `stdin` to the clipboard.
$ echo ${example} | kitty +kitten clipboard
try on your machine

This command is a combination of two commands executed together using the pipe operator "|" in a Unix-like environment.

  1. echo ${example}: This command displays the value of the variable example. The ${example} syntax is used to reference the value stored in the variable. The echo command simply outputs the value to the standard output.

  2. kitty +kitten clipboard: This is a command to the kitty terminal emulator, specifically using the kitten feature enabled by the +kitten flag. The kitten feature is a collection of optional extra features for kitty, one of which is the clipboard integration. By running this command, the terminal emulator will take the output from the previous echo command and put it into the clipboard, making it available for pasting elsewhere.

So, overall, this command takes the value stored in the variable ${example}, displays it using echo, and then copies it to the clipboard using the kitty terminal emulator with the kitten feature enabled.
