Install
curl -sL https://yakbin.io/install | sh
Installs yakbin to /usr/local/bin (or ~/.local/bin) and adds it to your PATH.
Account setup
yakbin account create
Creates a new account and saves the token to ~/.yakbinrc. Or save an existing token from your dashboard:
yakbin account login <token>
Pipe / stdin
cat deploy.log | yakbin
dmesg | yakbin 30m
kubectl logs pod/api | yakbin redact 1h
Content is stored exactly as you send it. Possible secrets are flagged in the reply, never silently rewritten. Add redact to mask them, or strict to refuse the upload. Add a duration to set expiry: 5m · 30m · 1h · 12h · 1d · 3d · 7d · 30d
