Enable piping

It would be cool if we could copy some code, then run pbpaste | carbon-now to make an image of the clipboard contents.

@albinekb Thanks for your input. :) I’ve added this one to the “ideas” pile, since I do believe that it could come in handy sometimes. Not my highest priority atm though, but certainly not against it, either.

I'll make a PR for this. Researching how I can output the file content in a format that will be caught correctly by pbcopy.

@thib92 I’m actually kind of already working on this. :) Also, shouldn’t

pbpaste | carbon-now-cli

be enough / the way it should work? Or am I mistaken? @albinekb

[albinekb]

Yes, that's correct @mixn I mixed it up with pbcopy usage 👍 Updated initial post

[thib92]

Oh, I thought about copying the file in the clipboard to paste it into a GUI program. I think this could be a cool feature as well, what do you think?

[mixn]

Yep that’s #3. It should ideally not just work with pbcopy / on Mac, but be cross-env.

[thib92]

Cool! If you need help on this one then (code in stdin), I can help as well.

@albinekb @thib92

After having lost all my work on this feature due to a broken Macbook and being super swamped with work, I’ve finally found the motivation and time to finish this (technically a 2nd time. 😄)

Ships with v1.4.0. :) Docs, if needed, can be found here. 🎉

Thank you for the idea and feedback! 🙏
