# 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)

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

|
##### how do you run it?
|
|

##### how does syntax highlighting work?

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