Shell Helper

Default TTL Default password Default ext (highlighting) Burn after read Memorable slug JSON output

Configure your function above

Switch to the macOS / Linux or Windows tab, pick your default options, then click Copy.

Add to your shell profile

Open (or create) your shell profile and paste the function at the bottom:

## macOS / Linux (zsh)
nano ~/.zshrc          # or ~/.bashrc for bash
## then paste your function and save

## Windows (PowerShell) — creates dirs + file, then opens in Notepad
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path (Split-Path -Parent $PROFILE) -Force | Out-Null; New-Item -ItemType File -Path $PROFILE -Force | Out-Null; notepad $PROFILE

Reload your shell

source ~/.zshrc         # macOS / Linux
. $PROFILE              # PowerShell

Basic usage

paste file.rs                     # upload a file (auto ext)
echo "hello" | paste              # pipe stdin
paste file.py --ttl 1d            # expires in 1 day (1h 6h 1d 7d 30d 6mo 1y or seconds)
paste secret.txt --burn           # delete after first read
paste notes.md --pw hunter2       # password-protected
paste data.json --id my-data      # custom slug
paste code.rs --memorable --json  # memorable slug + JSON response
paste file.go --ext go            # store extension for highlighting

Manage your paste

# URL printed after upload — open it to view with highlighting

# Get raw content
curl <url>/raw/<id>

# Update existing paste (requires token from --json output)
echo "new content" | curl --data-binary @- -X PUT \
  -H "X-Paste-Token: <token>" <url>/<id>

# Delete
curl -X DELETE -H "X-Paste-Token: <token>" <url>/<id>

Supported TTL values

Named: 1h 6h 1d 7d 30d 6mo 1y or any positive integer as seconds (e.g. 900 = 15 min). Max 365 days.
• JSON mode returns {id, url, token, expires_at} — save the token for updates/deletes.
• Memorable slug generates a human-readable slug like golden-anchor-storm.
• Burn after read pastes cannot be forked. Preview bots do not trigger the burn.
