pb

pb is a helper utility for using 0x0 pastebin services

pb provides an easy-to-use interface for uploading images or piping output to a 0x0 pastebin service. While it comes pre-configured with a specific pastebin, the service endpoint can be overridden.

Usage Examples

Upload 'scores.txt' to the pastebin

pb scores.txt

Upload piped output to the pastebin

echo 'Secret info' | pb

Upload a list of javascript files to the pastebin individually

find . -type f -name '*.js' -print | pb -f

Upload a file to a different pastebin endpoint

pb -s http://0x0.st scores.txt

Shorten a URL

pb -u https://google.com

Re-upload an image from the web

curl -s https://tildegit.org/_/static/img/gitea-lg.png | pb -e "png"
