github-gist

You can publish a file as a GitHub Gist by running the tool against your file path. It uploads the content directly and creates a shareable link using either the gh CLI or the GitHub API.

Yes, you can create a public GitHub Gist by using the --public option. By default, the tool publishes files and notes as secret gists to keep your code snippets private until you choose to share them.

Yes, publishing a GitHub Gist requires authentication to succeed. The tool supports both the gh CLI and a GitHub API fallback, meaning you must be properly authenticated through either method to upload snippets.

The best way to share stdin content as a GitHub Gist is to pipe your input directly into the tool. It accepts stdin-based content for rapid snippet sharing and can optionally open the created gist in a browser.

You can override the default filename and add a custom description for your GitHub Gist by specifying these options when running the tool. This provides clarity and context for the shared notes or code.

If the gh CLI is not available, the tool falls back to the GitHub API to publish your GitHub Gist. As long as you have valid authentication, the snippet sharing process will still succeed using this fallback mechanism.
