Copy to clipboard using Bash for Windows

windows command-line windows-subsystem-for-linux

In Build 14393 or later, if you want to copy something to clipboard in WSL console, just add '.exe' to what you do in Windows cmd.

echo "aaa"|clip.exe

To read from clipboard:

powershell.exe -command "Get-Clipboard"

In order to copy non-ascii characters (other languages), I had to do this:

echo 'αβψδεφγ' | iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-16le | clip.exe

utf-16le excludes the preceeding BOM so you can paste it back

A clever workaround is the open source tool plak (https://github.com/sander/plak)
