Great idea!

By the way, minor note on unix/copying-file-contents-to-system-paste-buffer.md:

"pbcopy" is an OS X only utility, but X11 (Linux, BSD) has a rough analogue in the form of "xclip". Just in case you ever switch over ;)

Good catch, I ought to move that over to the Mac section.

pbcopy && pbpaste are also available for windows - https://ghuntley.com/archive/2016/01/20/pbcopy-pbpaste-for-w...
