Opengist

Opengist is a self-hosted pastebin powered by Git. All snippets are stored in a Git repository and can be read and/or modified using standard Git commands, or with the web interface. It is similiar to GitHub Gist, but open-source and could be self-hosted.

Written in Go, Opengist aims to be fast and easy to deploy.

System requirements ​

Git is obviously required to run Opengist, as it's the main feature of the app. Version 2.28 or later is recommended as the app has not been tested with older Git versions and some features would not work.

OpenSSH suite if you wish to use Git over SSH.
