## What it is
The Clipboard Project (cb) is a fast, lightweight, cross-platform clipboard manager for the command line that supports text, files, and binary data with infinite named clipboards and history. It is written in C++, scriptable via pipes, and integrates with existing GUI clipboard systems.

## Use cases
- copy and paste files from the terminal
- manage multiple named clipboards with history
- pipe command output to the clipboard in shell scripts
- replace xclip/wl-clipboard with a simpler CLI
- cut and paste files via the command line
- automate clipboard workflows in bash scripts

## When to choose
- you want a fast, scriptable clipboard tool across Linux, macOS, and Windows
- you need multiple persistent clipboards with unlimited history
- you write shell scripts that copy text, files, or images

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI clipboard manager with a visual history interface
- you require active development - the project is seeking a C++ maintainer
- you need mobile or web clipboard syncing
