Self-hosted pastebin powered by Git, open-source alternative to Github Gist. - thomiceli/opengist
Is it only ironic to me that it’s hosted on GitHub? :D
What do people use pastebin for anyway? I’ve never felt the need to use it or something like it.
A lot of people use them for log files when troubleshooting within a support channel of some sort.
It’s useful for sharing configuration files or lengthy error logs etc. when trying to troubleshoot a technical problem with others via chat. AFAIK the original pastebins where invented for such purposes on IRC.
I have been using this for a while now and it works very nicely, however I never quite understood why one would want to use it through git. Storing a change history via git is a nice side effect though.
