Allow to change "public" or "secret" state of existing gist.

Allow to change "public" or "secret" state of existing gist.

[sanusart]

Seems not possible by API.
Suggestion: To notify user that all revisions will be lost, URL of gist will change, comments will be lost and then to re-create a gist as new with all data and delete the old one.

Maybe we should just drop it?

As this isn't supported on github website as well, the only purpose between
public and secret is how you share it.
Secret gist can only send the link around instead of searching for public
gists using github website.

What do you think?

And what about scenario where I want one of my gists to not be public anymore?

I think it's a rather rare use case but I guess someone could use it.

So, there's no way to change a Gist from being Public to Private, and vice-versa, is that correct?

[morsdyce]

No, we will have to recreate the gist itself.

The only way as it seems now is to recreate the gist with opposed access permissions. In such scenario the stars, revisions and comments of this gist will be lost.
Star can be recreated instantly, revisions and comments cannot.
We plan to implement this feature with user warned that gist will loose comments and revisions.

Still actual (at least for me)

[sanusart]

You can do it by pressing on the lock icon besides the title of the gist you are in.
