Gistify

Summary

Gistify is a jQuery plugin that improves the embedded-gist experience.

Description

As we all know, relying on external services for content can be tricky – the service might be down, or might be slow to respond. Gistify helps with the particular case of using gist.github.com. With Gistify, you link to your gists instead of embedding <script> tags, and with a quick call to gistify you can replace them as part of the $(document).ready() function.

Example

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('a.gist').gistify();
});
