This is gist was made from emacs using gist-mode. | |
But how do you get gist mode? Well you can either find it here: | |
https://github.com/defunkt/gist.el, or you can get it from marmelade | |
using M-x package-list-packages. | |
Once you have it it's pretty easy to use. The easiest way to figure it | |
out is to do a "M-x gist-" and let the autocomplete work it's magic! | |
The first time you use a command you'll have to type in your github | |
credentials. | |
You'll probably want to start with M-x gist-list. That will pop open a | |
buffer and list off all the gists you've already made. You can then | |
open them and edit them. When you save the file it will automatically | |
update github with your changes. | |
To make your own I like M-x gist-region or M-x | |
gist-region-private. It's pretty self explanatory, but just for | |
completions' sake: Make a region (usually by positioning the cursor at | |
the beggining, hitting C-space, then moving the cursor to the end) | |
then with the region selected, type M-x gist-region to create a gist! | |
It will then show up in your gist-list! | |
Within the gist-list buffer, you can execute the command M-x | |
gist-edit-current-description to change the description of a | |
gist. Alternatively you can use the shortcut and type e. | |
While writing your gist, don't change the mode of the buffer, because | |
gist-mode freaks out and won't allow you to save and upload the file | |
to github. Even if you change the mode back to gist-mode it still may | |
fail. | |
Happy gisting! |
