About:
Gist is a command-line utility that simplifies the process of creating and sharing GitHub Gists directly from the terminal. It allows developers to quickly upload snippets of code, logs, or notes without leaving their workflow. This tool streamlines sharing and collaboration by providing a fast, scriptable interface for GitHub's Gist service.

Key Features:

Seamless integration with GitHub accounts for private and public gists
Support for multi-file gists and standard input piping
Simple command-line interface for quick uploads and sharing

Use Cases:

Sharing code snippets or configuration files with colleagues
Posting error logs or debugging output for troubleshooting
Saving quick notes or reminders in version-controlled snippets

Alternatives:

GitHub CLI (gh) – The official GitHub CLI offers gist functionality alongside broader repository management, while Gist is a dedicated, lightweight tool focused solely on gists.
