About:
Gistit is a command-line interface tool designed to seamlessly integrate with the GitHub Gist service. It allows developers to create, manage, and share code snippets directly from their terminal. This utility streamlines the process of sharing code snippets, logs, or configuration files without leaving the command line environment.
Key Features:
  • Create public and private Gists from the command line
  • Pipe standard input directly to a new Gist
  • Copy the Gist URL to the clipboard automatically
  • Support for syntax highlighting via file extensions
Use Cases:
  • Sharing error logs or configuration files with colleagues for debugging
  • Publishing code snippets or shell scripts to share publicly
  • Quickly saving temporary code blocks for later reference
Alternatives:
  • gh gist – The official GitHub CLI includes native gist functionality, but Gistit offers a more lightweight, dedicated experience.
  • curl – Can be used to hit the GitHub API directly, but Gistit provides a user-friendly wrapper that handles authentication and output.
