About:
Pastebinit is a command-line utility that uploads text or file content directly to a pastebin service. It simplifies sharing logs, code snippets, or terminal output by generating a public URL instantly. The tool supports multiple pastebin backends and integrates seamlessly into shell scripts and developer workflows.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for quick text uploads
  • Supports multiple pastebin services (e.g., Debian Pastezone)
  • Pipes input from stdin or reads files directly
  • Lightweight and scriptable for automation
Use Cases:
  • Sharing command output or logs with colleagues for debugging
  • Quickly distributing code snippets or configuration files
Alternatives:
  • gist – Gist offers versioned, multi-file gists with GitHub integration, while pastebinit focuses on simpler, single-shot uploads.
  • curl – Using curl requires manual API knowledge; pastebinit abstracts the service-specific details for easier use.
