FAQ

Why is my gist's language classified as "Other"?

Lepton depends on GitHub API to detect the language. If this fails, you can still put // vim: syntax=<your_language> at the top of the gist to specify the language.

// vim: syntax=javascript
let test = 'This is a javascript file'

Why I can't search the gists' content?

Currently, Lepton only supports the search for the gist's description field. This is limited by GitHub's API support.

How to specify the title and tags for my gist?

[title] description #tag1 #tag2

Can I use Lepton behind a proxy server?

Yes. Copy and paste the following snippet to ~/.leptonrc. Create the file if it does not exist, and don't forgot to change the address to your own one.

{
  "proxy": {
    "enable": true,
    "address": "socks://localhost:1080"
  }
}
