copypath

Copies an absolute path to the clipboard.

$ copypath                    # copies $PWD
$ copypath dist/index.html    # copies /Users/joestump/…/dist/index.html

One command instead of pwd | pbcopy — and unlike pwd | pbcopy, it resolves a relative argument to an absolute path first.

Pro tips

• The everyday move: copypath in a deep directory, then paste into a Claude prompt, a Finder ⌘⇧G "Go to Folder" box, or an scp command on another tab.
• It works on files, not just directories — copypath some.log then paste into tail -f ⌘V elsewhere.
• Cross-platform: uses pbcopy on macOS and xclip/wl-copy on the Linux nodes, so the muscle memory transfers.
• Sibling plugin: copyfile copies a file's contents instead of its path.
