Pastebin is a web-based platform that allows users to store and share text online. It’s commonly used for sharing code snippets, logs, configuration files, or any other type of text that needs to be shared easily. Users can paste large chunks of text, create a unique URL for it, and share that link with others. Github Gists are a type of pastebin with version control.

Key features of Pastebin:
-
Public/Private Pastes: You can set your paste to be public, unlisted, or private.
-
Syntax Highlighting: It supports various programming languages, applying appropriate syntax highlighting.
-
Expiration Time: Users can set an expiration time for their pastes, after which the paste will automatically be deleted.

It’s especially useful for developers, students, or anyone needing to quickly share text or code online.
