Gist: The Script

Works great with Gist: The Website.

Ported the Ruby script to Python..

Also supports:

• Passing multiple files as arguments
• Optionally Read from STDIN
• Auto file type detection via ext
• Read support and clone support

Installation

You need to set the GitHub config options to use this properly:
http://github.com/guides/local-github-config

curl http://github.com/davglass/gist/raw/master/gist.py?raw=true > gist
chmod 755 gist
sudo mv gist /usr/local/bin/gist

Usage

#Creates a new Gist
gist file.txt file2.js file3.html

#STDIN - Giving an extension
gist -e .js < myfile

#Debugging - This will print the Gist and not send it
gist -d -e .js < myfile

#Pull the Gist #12345
gist -r 12345

#Clone the Gist #12345
gist -r 12345 -c

Vim shortcut Key

Add these lines to your .vimrc file and you have a new shortcut: Shift + F9 will write the file and create a Gist from it

" Make a Gist of this file..
map <S-F9> :w<CR> :!gist %<CR>

• Add directory support
