paste-cli

This is a simple CLI tool written in Go to interact with a paste-server either a self hosted instance or the main hosted site.

Install

To install and run this project simply clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/h5law/paste-cli

Then install the dependencies and build the binary:

cd paste-cli
go mod tidy
go build -o paste

You can then run the command with ./paste or move it into your $PATH and execute it via paste anywhere on the computer.

Config

The paste command will look for a config file (by default $HOME/.paste.yaml) which can control the url of the paste-server instance to interact with.

The document should look like this:

url: "<paste-server instance url goes here>:<port to use here>"

So for local instances on port 3000 it would look like:

url: "http://127.0.0.1:3000"

You can also use the --config flag to use a config file elsewhere or if no config file is found / given the paste command will default to using the main server URL.
