About:
Wgetpaste is a command-line utility designed to automate the process of uploading content to various pastebin services. It supports multiple providers including Debian Pastezone, Gist, and Pastebin, allowing users to paste text, files, or command output seamlessly. The tool simplifies sharing logs and code snippets by handling the HTTP requests and authentication required by different services.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple pastebin services (e.g., gist, pastebin, debian)
  • Can paste content from files, standard input, or command output
  • Command-line interface for easy automation and scripting
  • Provides options for unlisted or private pastes where supported
Use Cases:
  • Sharing command output or logs for debugging with colleagues
  • Quickly publishing code snippets or configuration files
  • Automating paste uploads within shell scripts or CI pipelines
Alternatives:
  • curl – More manual; requires crafting specific API requests for each service
  • gist-it – GitHub Gist specific; Wgetpaste supports a wider range of services
