# bin

a paste bin.

A paste bin that's actually minimalist. No database requirement, no commenting functionality, no self-destructing or time bomb messages and no social media integration—just an application to quickly send snippets of text to people.

[bin](https://bin.gy/) is written in Rust in around 300 lines of code. It's fast, it's simple, there's code highlighting and you can ⌘+A without going to the 'plain' page. It's revolutionary in the paste bin industry, disrupting markets and pushing boundaries never seen before.

##### so how do you get bin?

Download the latest version from the [releases](https://github.com/w4/bin/releases) page, extract it and run the `./bin` executable. You can also compile it from source using Cargo if you swing that way:

```bash

# nix-shell provides an environment with rust/cargo installed

$ nix-shell

[nix-shell:~/Code/bin]$ cargo build --release

   Compiling bin v1.0.0 (/Users/jordanjd/Code/bin)

    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 3.61s

[nix-shell:~/Code/bin]$ ./target/release/bin

    ...

```

##### how do you run it?

```bash

$ ./bin

```

##### funny, what settings are there?

```

$ ./bin

Usage: bin [] [--buffer-size ] [--max-paste-size ]

a pastebin.

Positional Arguments:

  bind_addr         socket address to bind to (default: 127.0.0.1:8820)

Options:

  --buffer-size     maximum amount of pastes to store before rotating (default:

                    1000)

  --max-paste-size  maximum paste size in bytes (default. 32kB)

  --help            display usage information

```

##### is there curl support?

```bash

$ curl -X PUT --data 'hello world' https://bin.gy

https://bin.gy/cateettary

$ curl https://bin.gy/cateettary

hello world

```

##### how does syntax highlighting work?

To get syntax highlighting you need to add the file extension at the end of your paste URL.
