# gistquery is a utility to query a single user's GitHub gists | |
# | |
# Syntax: | |
# | |
# gistquery <username> | |
# | |
# Where <username> is the Github user's username. | |
# | |
# The first time you query a user's gist it will register the current | |
# gists for that user and show the date of the latest gist. The user | |
# will be registered in a file named "/tmp/gistquery.<username>". Subsequent | |
# executions for the same username will tell | |
# you if a new gist has been added by the user. | |
