How do you copy code snippets and error traces between your devices? (Mac/Linux + Android especially)
I've been debugging a frustrating workflow problem, I'll have a stack trace or connection string on my second machine and need it on my main dev box. My current solution is embarrassingly bad: I email it to myself or paste it into Slack DMs.
Curious how other cross-platform developers handle this. Specifically:
- Do you have a system that actually works, or just a least-bad workaround?
- Has anything like an API key or env var ever ended up somewhere it shouldn't because of this?
- Would a CLI tool (
cs copy/cs paste) that syncs end-to-end encrypted across devices be useful, or is this a solved problem I'm missing?
Building something in this space and want to understand the real workflow before I ship the wrong thing.
