Overview

This Nilesoft Shell snippet provides seamless integration with paste.rs, a text and code sharing service similar to Pastebin. The integration adds context menu entries that allow users to quickly upload text-based files directly from Windows Explorer to paste.rs using cURL commands. The snippet intelligently filters files based on extensions and special filenames to only show the upload option for appropriate text and code files.

The service is particularly useful for sharing code snippets, configuration files, logs, and other text-based content with colleagues or the community. paste.rs provides a clean, ad-free interface for viewing shared content.
