FAQ

My gist's language is 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'

I can't search the gist content

Limited by GitHub API, Lepton only supports the search for the following fields.

• file name
• description
• tag

Title and Tags

[title] description #tag1 #tag2

Proxy (Optional)

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"
  }
}
