Terminal output pasted into chat loses its alignment, wraps at odd places, and buries the important line. Sharing it as a link keeps the monospaced formatting intact and lets whoever is helping reference an exact line.
Share the output in seconds
- Select and copy the terminal output or command log.
- Paste it into the code share tool and click Create share link.
- Send the link — the reader sees numbered lines and a raw view they can copy or
curl.
Trim and redact first
- Cut the noise — share the relevant command and its output, not your whole session.
- Remove secrets — tokens, hostnames, and paths often hide in logs. Same rule as sharing a config file safely.
Pair it with a screenshot
If the terminal is part of a bigger picture, add a screenshot link too. For a full error trace, see how to share an error log or stack trace. Everything is free and needs no account.
