Pastebin

Command line interface for Pastebin.com.

Just another Pastebin.com CLI script, but you can even login with your user account.

The project outlines as described in my blog post about Open Source Software Collaboration.

• The main purpose of this software is to provide a command-line interface to pastebin.com.
• The features should not go beyond pastebin.com's features and functions. So the features of this software are limited to those of pastebin.com.
• This list is open. Feel free to request features.

The preferred method of installation is via RubyGems.org:
https://rubygems.org/gems/thefox-pastebin

gem install thefox-pastebin

or via Gemfile:

gem 'thefox-pastebin', '~>1.2'

Use it in your sources:

require 'thefox-pastebin'

Unless you are using -f the default input is STDIN.

pastebin -h

pastebin --skel

The default settings file is under ~/.pastebinrc. You need to create it by yourself.

pastebin --skel > ~/.pastebinrc

pastebin -D

pastebin -c ~/.pastebinrc_user2

pastebin -n 'hello world'

pastebin -e 10m

pastebin -l php

pastebin -f file.txt

pastebin -u

pastebin -p

pastebin -r <ID>

As a registered pastebin.com user you can login and let pastebin create pastes on behalf of you. You need to enter your username and password. The login credentials are not stored to any configuration file or anywhere else.

pastebin --login

After a successfull login you need to add the API_USER_KEY= line to your settings file (~/.pastebinrc). This user key is associated to your pastebin.com user.

You can also use your own Developer API Key. See pastebin.com API documentation for more details.

pastebin -n hello_world -e 10m -f hello_world.txt
pastebin -n 'PHP Script' -l php -f login.php
pastebin -u -e 1m -l php -f test.php
pastebin -n 'Collect Script' -p -e 10m -l awk -f collect.awk
pastebin -r UJwPUmKp
cat /tmp/hello_world.txt | pastebin
