In plain words
ClipPath is a terminal utility that lets developers paste screenshots directly as file paths into their command line. Instead of manually typing or copying file locations, users can capture a screenshot and have it automatically converted to a usable file path in the terminal. It's designed for developers who frequently work with file systems and want to streamline their workflow by reducing manual path entry and navigation steps.

Copies file references (like Finder), not contents. Auto-cleans temp files. No AppleScript hacks. Install: brew install…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
