At times you may want to copy the text of a command on a Mac Terminal to the Clipboard, you can do that after executing the command and by making use of the keyboard and the mouse (or trackpad), but this will be a two-step process.

Example:
ls -l | pbcopy
You can learn more about this command using the manual man pbcopy.
