# Haste
Sharing code is a good thing, and it should be _really_ easy to do it.
A lot of times, I want to show you something I'm seeing - and that's where we
use pastebins.
Haste is the prettiest, easiest to use pastebin ever made.
## Basic Usage
Type what you want me to see, click "Save", and then copy the URL. Send that
URL to someone and they'll see what you see.
To make a new entry, click "New" (or type 'control + n')
## From the Console
Most of the time I want to show you some text, it's coming from my current
console session. We should make it really easy to take code from the console
and send it to people.
`cat something | haste` # http://hastebin.com/1238193
You can even take this a step further, and cut out the last step of copying the
URL with:
* osx: `cat something | haste | pbcopy`
* linux: `cat something | haste | xsel`
* windows: check out [WinHaste](https://github.com/ajryan/WinHaste)
After running that, the STDOUT output of `cat something` will show up at a URL
which has been conveniently copied to your clipboard.
That's all there is to that, and you can install it with `gem install haste`
right now.
* osx: you will need to have an up to date version of Xcode
* linux: you will need to have rubygems and ruby-devel installed
## Duration
Pastes will stay for 30 days from their last view. They may be removed
