git-paste
Send commit patches to a pastebin service
TLDR
Paste commits not yet in the upstream branch
$ git paste
Paste a specific revision range$ git paste [HEAD~3..HEAD]
Paste a single commit$ git paste -1 [commit]
SYNOPSIS
git paste [git-format-patch-args]
DESCRIPTION
git paste runs `git format-patch --stdout` over the given commits and pipes the resulting diff to pastebinit, printing the pastebin URL. Part of git-extras, it is a quick way to share a patch or a small commit series without creating a file first.Because it delegates to `pastebinit`, the destination pastebin service (and any API key) is whatever `pastebinit` is configured to use, not necessarily GitHub Gist.
PARAMETERS
ARGS
Any arguments accepted by `git format-patch` (revision range, `-1`, `-n`, etc). Defaults to `@{u}` (commits ahead of the upstream branch) when omitted.
INSTALL
sudo apt install git
sudo dnf install git
sudo pacman -S git
sudo apk add git
sudo zypper install git
brew install git
nix profile install nixpkgs#git
CAVEATS
Requires pastebinit to be installed separately; the command aborts with an error if it is missing. Pasted content is sent to a third-party service, so avoid pasting patches containing secrets.
