Ever find yourself in a situation where you simply want to save or share the output of a terminal command? Selecting, copying and pasting text from stdout always feels quite tedious, if you just want to share the contents of a file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A project called [Termbin](https://termbin.com/) tries to simplify this process. Just pipe the command you want to save to the following url on port `9999`, using Netcat:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo "Hello, Blog!" | nc termbin.com 9999
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of showing the output, it will be forwarded to Termbin and show the URL, under which your output will be available:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
➜ blog git:(master) ✗ cat ./some_file.txt | nc termbin.com 9999
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://termbin.com/faos
|
|
|
|
|
|
➜ blog git:(master) ✗
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sure enough, after navigating to [`https://termbin.com/faos`](https://termbin.com/faos), we will see the contents of `some_file.txt`. Neat!

### ⚠️Word of Caution⚠️
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do not pipe any personal information, credentials or any other private data into termbin. It will be instantly available to the general public, and theres no quick way to remove it.
