Please consider making description optional.

Hi @michalkahle thanks for checking it out. I understand that GitHub doesn't force you to write descriptions to gists. I however believe that in light of self documentation by those who are creating gists themselves as well as getting a reasonable and understandable output when you run gifc get x, having a description would save a lot of time and effort. There are other issues that I'd like to fix first. Maybe I will add it in the end of the queue.
Cheers!

Writing descriptions might or might not be useful but in any case, you do not want your tool to force you to do it.

Sure, I will see if i want to make it optional. If i do i will close this thread from the commit itself otherwise i will keep it open.

I have decided not to support that in the code as it would be source of pain and will cause a lot of searching for code snippet by those who created that gist.
HOWEVER, if you are hell bent on NOT giving a description, its equivalent to passing an empty string, so you can use it as follows -
gifc create dummy.md -d "" -m "This is how you can create gists without a description"
