pbcopy and pbpaste are among my top commandline utilities. If you are running linux in WSL, you can add the following to you path to recreate their functionality:

    # pbpaste
    #!/bin/bash
    # Adapted from https://www.techtronic.us/pbcopy-pbpaste-for-wsl/
    powershell.exe Get-Clipboard | sed 's/\r$//' | sed -z '$ s/\n$//'
    exit 0

and

    # pbcopy
    #!/bin/bash
    #Adapted from https://www.techtronic.us/pbcopy-pbpaste-for-wsl/
    <&0 clip.exe
    exit 0
