Requires a Pastebin developer account and manually adding your API token to the script before running the install script.
QPastebin is a small command-line tool that lets you quickly upload text or files to pastebin.com, a popular website for sharing snippets of text or code. Instead of opening a browser, navigating to the site, pasting your content, and copying the resulting link, you just run a single command and get a shareable link back instantly. Using it is straightforward. You can either pass text directly in quotes or point it at a file on your computer. The script then sends your content to Pastebin's service and gives you back a URL. If you have a tool called xclip installed, it can even copy that link to your clipboard automatically so you're ready to paste it into a chat or email right away. This tool is aimed at developers, system administrators, or anyone comfortable with the command line who frequently shares text snippets with colleagues. For example, if you're debugging an issue and want to share a chunk of code or a log file with a teammate, you can run one command and send the link instead of fiddling with a browser. It's a convenience tool that saves a few steps for people who live in the terminal. To get it working, you'll need to add your own Pastebin API token to the script file before running the included install script. The README doesn't go into detail on where to get that token, but you'd typically find it by creating a developer account on the Pastebin website. Beyond that initial setup, the tool is ready to use.
A command-line tool that uploads text or files to Pastebin and gives you a shareable link instantly, without opening a browser. Great for quickly sharing code snippets or logs from the terminal.
