Boop

A git-based pastebin.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'boop'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install boop

Configuration

The directory ~/.boop should be a git repository.
The environment variable BOOP_URL should be a URL that points to the contents of the repository.

Usage

$ ls | boop paste
https://example.com/0011da76692a4cda80c766dd8de6081f.txt
$ echo '<p>hello, world!</p>' | boop html
https://example.com/25950fb63d554c158a93d4c33e4845cb.html
$ echo '<p>hi</p>' | boop html hi
https://example.com/hi.html

It changes to the ~/.boop directory, saves the contents of stdin to the specified file (using a UUID as the name if no name is specified), and does a git push, prints the URL it should be available at.

It DOES NOT preserve the contents of existing files.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
