Explore CLI Commands →PasteDB CLI is a command-line pastebin tool designed for developers who want to share code, text and files directly from a terminal. Instead of opening a browser every time you need to create a paste, the PasteDB command-line interface lets you work with pastes using simple commands.
The CLI can be useful when working with servers, development environments, scripts, code editors and terminal-based workflows. A local source file can be uploaded to PasteDB with a single command and the resulting paste URL can then be shared with others.
Traditional pastebin services are commonly used through a web browser. PasteDB CLI provides a terminal-based alternative for developers who want a faster way to create and manage code pastes.
With PasteDB CLI, you can upload a local source file, automatically detect its language and receive a PasteDB URL. This makes it convenient for sharing snippets, debugging examples, configuration files and other developer content.
PasteDB CLI is built around a straightforward command structure. Developers can create, retrieve, update and delete pastes while also managing API keys and accessing their PasteDB account.
Install the PasteDB CLI and start sharing and managing code without leaving your command line.
