Let's say your paste buffer contains the following data (representing dependencies)
"beyondcode/laravel-dump-server"
"filp/whoops"
"fzaninotto/faker"
"laravel/dusk"
"mockery/mockery"
"nunomaduro/collision"
"nunomaduro/larastan"
"phpstan/phpstan"
"phpunit/phpunit"
"shvetsgroup/laravel-email-database-log"
You want to join them all onto one line (e.g. because you want to feed them all as arguments to a command for installing a list of dependencies)
The trick is to use tr with -d set to \n to remove the newlines.
pbpaste | tr -d '\n'
"beyondcode/laravel-dump-server" "filp/whoops" "fzaninotto/faker" "laravel/dusk" "mockery/mockery" "nunomaduro/collision" "nunomaduro/larastan" "phpstan/phpstan" "phpunit/phpunit" "shvetsgroup/laravel-email-database-log"%
