fpaste
------
fpaste is a command-line front-end for the Fedora Pastebin service at
fpaste.org.  It allows easy uploading of multiple files, or of copy&pasted
text from stdin, without requiring a web browser. A unique fpaste link is
returned, which can then be given to others who are offering help.

.. code:: bash

    e.g.:
    [joeuser@localhost ~]$ fpaste /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    Uploading...

Upstream
========

The source code is hosted at https://pagure.io/fpaste where primary development will occur. Please file issues here. A mirror is also maintained at https://github.com/sanjayankur31/fpaste where you can open pull requests.

Why?
====

- PRIMARY: users don't like being flooded with large amounts of text, and
  encourage the use of pastebin sites & utilities instead.
- A GUI browser like firefox might be inaccessible.
- A TUI browser like lynx might be too cumbersome.
- Multiple files can be fpasted.
- It's often faster & more convenient to use the cli than to copy/paste in a
  browser's textarea.
- Why not?
