wgetpaste is an extremely simple command-line interface to various online pastebin services.

Installation

Install app-text/wgetpaste:

root #emerge --ask app-text/wgetpaste

Usage

Using the wgetpaste command is simple. Presuming bpaste services is selected (which is the default service) to create a paste of the system's Xorg configuration, run the following command:

user $wgetpaste /etc/X11/xorg.conf

To create a paste of xorg.conf using the tiny URL service use the -u option:

user $wgetpaste -u /etc/X11/xorg.conf

To set a language for syntax highlighting use the -l option:

user $wgetpaste -l Bash /etc/bash/bashrc

Use the -L option to list all available languages, which depends on selected paste service:

user $wgetpaste -L

To paste the entire output of a command, use the -c option. Remember to quote the command:

user $wgetpaste -c 'emerge -vp musique'

Configuration

To list available pastebin services use the -S option:

user $wgetpaste -S
