This question already has an answer here:

Whenever I was to store something to show someone here, I run

command-with-output | pastebinit.

That returns the link to the paste online. For example:

echo timtjtim | pastebinit

gave me the link

paste.ubuntu.com/8010000

Which I can share. How can I do this with a file - for example a log file. Surely I don't have to open - > copy all - > open paste.ubuntu.com -> paste it?
