Gist

A command-line tool for publishing gists, inspired by icholy/gist.

Usage

Read a file from stdin:

sh cat notes.md | gist

Set a file name:

sh cat error.log | gist -f "weird-bug.log"

Make a public Gist:

sh cat file.sh | gist -p

Multiple files?

sh gist src/*.rs

I want the Gist's URL copied to my clipboard, when it's done:

```sh

*nix / X.org

echo stuff | gist | xclip

mac

echo something | gist | pbcopy ```

Installation

Installation currently requires cargo, just cargo install gist.

For authentication, the program requires an environment variable called GITHUB_GIST_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN. It is mandatory as Github killed anonymous Gists in 2018.

You can generate one at: https://github.com/settings/tokens

Then append it to your .profile, or something with:

```sh export GITHUB_TOKEN="blah blah blah"

or

export GITHUBGISTTOKEN="blah blah blah" ```

Github Enterprise

To use with Github Enterprise, set the env. var GITHUB_GIST_API_ENDPOINT to your private Gist API endpoint.
