Termbin.com |
|
|
|
Ever needed to share text from your terminal? |
|
Termbin to the rescue! |
|
Just redirect your output to "nc termbin.com 9999" |
|
for example: |
|
$ echo "Testing termbin!" | nc termbin.com 9999 |
|
|
|
This will give you a nice URL you can use to share with your |
|
friends. Be wary though; make sure you never push keys or passwords |
