What is pastebin?
pastebin is here to help you collaborate on debugging code snippets. If you're not familiar with the idea, most people use it like this:
- submit a code fragment to pastebin, getting a url like http://paste.biz/1234
- paste the url into an IRC or IM conversation
- someone responds by reading and perhaps submitting a modification of your code
- you then view the modification, maybe using the built in diff tool to help locate the changes
How can I view the differences between two posts?
When you view a post, you have the opportunity of editing the text - this creates a new post, but when you view it, you'll be given a 'diff' link which allows you to compare the changes between the old and the new version.
This is a powerful feature, great for seeing exactly what lines someone changed.
And this is all free?
It will always be free, our hosting and maintenance costs are paid for through advertising and generous donations. Would you like to donate? Use the button to the left.
Can I get the source?
No, you cannot get the source to paste.biz. However, you can grab the original code here.
