Gist.sh

h1. Unmaintained, doesn't work.

Since Github API changes. Thanks for stopping by!

h2. About

@gist.sh@ is a simple bash shell script for getting/posting code snippets (gists) from/to http://gist.github.com

h2. Installation

<pre> $ curl https://raw.github.com/gmarik/gist.sh/master/gist.sh > gist.sh && chmod 755 gist.sh && sudo mv gist.sh /usr/local/bin/ </pre>

h2. Usage

• Posting to GitHub from standard input:

<pre> $ cat file | gist.sh $ gist.sh < file </pre>

or from a file:

<pre> $ gist.sh -f file </pre>

or from the clipboard (xclip must be available)

<pre> $ gist.sh -c </pre>

When posting from a file using -f, github will guess the language from the filename extension.

When posting from standard input or the clipboard, you may pass -e to set an extension, from which github assigns the gist language:

<pre> $ gist.sh -e java < file $ gist.sh -e java -c </pre>

• Getting from GitHub:

<pre> $ gist.sh 1234 </pre>

or to write the gist to a file

<pre> $ gist.sh -f file 1234 </pre>

or to write the gist to the clipboard (xclip must be available)

<pre> $ gist.sh -c 1234 </pre>

• Cloning a gist from GitHub:

<pre> $ gist.sh -l 1234 </pre>

or to clone using the private clone URL to support local update and push (this requires the gist to have been created with authentication):

<pre> $ gist.sh -p -l 1234 </pre>

• Use the -d (debug) parameter to show the curl command that would be executed to post or receive a gist rather than actually communicating with github.

• Gists are public by default. Pass -p or --private to make a gist private.

• If your git config contains github.user and github.token (see https://github.com/account), they will be used to assign yourself as owner of the posted gist. Use the -a or --anon parameter to post anonymously.
