airpaste is a lightweight, portable shell script for quickly uploading text, code snippets, or logs from the Linux terminal to a remote paste service, generating a public shareable URL. Developed for simplicity, it requires only standard tools like curl, sed, and grep, making it ideal for servers or minimal environments.

Usage is straightforward: pipe content via stdin (echo 'code' | airpaste) or specify a file. It supports syntax highlighting for popular languages, enhancing readability on the paste site. The upload goes to paste.nroot.de, which provides temporary public pastes.

Key benefits:
- Minimal dependencies.
- Syntax support: bash, c, cpp, css, go, html, json, js, md, py, rust, sh, toml, xml, yaml.
- Raw mode for plain text.
- Fast and script-friendly.

Perfect for debugging, sharing configs, or collaborating without GUI tools. Note: pastes are public and expire (check service policy).

Requires internet and curl. Pastes are public; no authentication or privacy. Expiration depends on paste.nroot.de policy (typically temporary). Reads stdin if no FILE.

Use stdin for piped input (cat file.txt | airpaste) or specify file directly (airpaste file.txt).
