This project is a bit old and unmaintained. There are tons of alternatives! You're welcome to use GitPaste, but please be aware that I am no longer maintaining it or plan to maintain it for the future. If anything I will provide a rewrite one day.
GitPaste is a GitHub Gist clone.
This is an alternative to gist.github.com. It allows you to deploy and create your own gist.github.com-like application. It is useful in an environment where you may not be able to use gist.github.com or alternatives.
Why would company policies that ban github permit your alternative?
It's not a matter of being able to use github--there's no problem with it. There's an issue with posting code that does not have such permissible license. We're just simply not allowed to for a lot of the work. Sure, we could use private accounts, but we would still be violating the policy in a more devious manner. This allows anyone to deploy a gist.github-like setup on their local server where it can be isolated if needed.
There's a requirements.txt. If you use pip then just follow the readme.
