support gist.github.com

[Rex Tsai]

Please support gist.github.com again

(patch supplied previously has bitrotten by now and no working patch is currently available)

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

Included, will be in the next release.

[Adam Spiers (adam.spiers)]

Despite the above, support for github seems to be missing in 1.2.

  Drop non-working pastebins for now (rafb.net, pastey.net, gist.github.com). Thanks to cyphermox for testing

That's why it's no longer there.

[Paulo Marcel Coelho Aragão (marcelpaulo)]

Any chance support for gist.github.com might come back ?

I'm running version 1.4-3 on Xubuntu 14.10, and it doesn't seem to support it:

paulo@monk:~/tmp$ pastebinit -l
Supported pastebins:
- cxg.de
- fpaste.org
- lpaste.net
- p.defau.lt
- paste.debian.net
- paste.drizzle.org
- paste.kde.org
- paste.openstack.org
- paste.pound-python.org
- paste.ubuntu.com
- paste.ubuntu.org.cn
- paste2.org
- pastebin.com
- pastebin.mate-desktop.org
- pb.daviey.com
- slexy.org
- sprunge.us

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

A branch would be appreciated.

[Marcos Alano (mhalano)]

This tool seems nice to be studied to learn how to add support.: http://wgetpaste.zlin.dk/ it's just a shell script.

There are ethical problems with supporting github:
