Fast way to share text from commandline

If you want to share text you can do it with https://hastebin.com and then inside your .bash-aliases or similar define a function like

export HASTE_SERVER=https://hastebin.com


haste () {                                                                                                                              
        a=$(cat)                                                                                                                        
        curl -X POST -s -d "$a" $HASTE_SERVER/documents | awk -F '"' -v haste_server=$HASTE_SERVER '{ print haste_server"/"$4 }'
}

If you want to share somefile from commandline with

cat somefile | haste

and it will respond with e.g

https://hastebin.com/ibejajiful.bash

that points to the shared text from somefile. To get text down into a localfile again do

curl https://hastebin.com/raw/ibejajiful > somefile

and your have a local version of that file.

Notice that you should not share important information with this tool as it is not secure.
