Hastebin Client (in Go)

Yet another CLI for hastebin, this one written in Go. It is intended to be used similarly to the original haste client, but also be able to get/read hastes.
As an added bonus, there's also cross-platform support without dependencies on other tools.

It also supports client certificates for mTLS for some reason.

Installation

Navigate to the latest release and download the client for your OS and architecture.

Usage

Creating a haste

Without any arguments, haste reads from the STDIN:

cat file | haste

Provided with a file argument, haste will create a haste from the contents of that file and return the URL pointing to it:

url=$(haste file) # equivalent to cat file | haste
echo $url         # e.g. https://hastebin.com/ogoquyocaq

Reading a haste

haste can read a haste using the get command:

haste get <key>           # prints the haste contents to STDOUT
haste get <key> -o ./file # prints the haste contents to ./file

Help

Build

Requires golang 1.15+.

If there is no release for your OS and architecture or if you want to build the binary yourself for other reasons, you can follow these steps:

git clone git@github.com:jagoe/haste-client-go.git        # clone this repo
cd haste-client-go
[GOARCH=<your architecture>] [GOOS=<your OS>] make build  # build client
sudo mv ./bin/haste /usr/local/bin/haste                  # move to a bin directory in your PATH
