# pbcopy alternative for copying to clipboard

in osx we have [pbcopy & pbpaste](/osx/manage-clipboard-easily-with-jumpcut.md)

we can have something similar in linux. Put this is your shell profile (`~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` if you are using zsh)

```bash
alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'
alias pbpaste='xclip -selection clipboard -o'
```
