mikelietz / gist-cli

An attempt to script gist creation from the command line.

This expects to find the following block in ~/.gitconfig to post via your account:

[github]
user = <your username>
password = <your password>

Note also that if your existing .gitconfig has tabs in there, you'll need to strip those out.

This can take a list of files, or can accept input from stdin and creates a gist (and prints the url)

Other options:

usage: gist [-h] [--description DESCRIPTION] [--private]
            [infile_list [infile_list ...]]

Create a github gist from a file, or from stdin

positional arguments:
  infile_list - Not Required, if ommitted, will accept from stdin

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --description DESCRIPTION, -d DESCRIPTION
  --private, -p

if you run setup.py, it will install the mkgist binary.
