Gist made easy for mac

A few days a go i had a trouble trying to use or re-use my snippets, and taking the idea from sublime text 2 and the gist package i wrote a gem that try to ease the creation, list available gist, remove or use a gist and this is the result a gem called gistto

To install it

First update gem

$ gem update --system

then install gistto

$ gem install gistto

Configuration

to configure you must run

$ gistto config

this will create some folders and files and make some configurations :

• gistto home folder under your user home directory as: ~/gistto
• gistto configuration file under your user home directory as : ~/.gistto
• copy gistto.crt to /tmp folder for oAuth v3 Authentication for https
• verify for git global configuration for username or ask him if git is not present
• generate authentication token for oAuth v3

Usage

When configuration is done you can now :

$ gistto list

to list all the available gist in your account, if you dont have any gist yet you can create easily with gistto using:

$ gistto add <file_path_1> <file_path_2> <file_path_n>

or you can type directly in the console using

$ gistto type <filename> <description>

or you can also

$ cat <path_to_file> | gistto type <filename> <description>

or

$ gistto type <filename> <description> < <path_to_file>

now that you have gists, you can easily use typing:

$ gistto get <gistID> [-s|-l|-o|-c]

the options allow us:

• -s : show in the console to copy
• -l : save locally in the gistto folder
• -o : open raw view in the browser
• -c : copy the code to the clipboard

and finally (by the moment) you can delete one or many gists using

$ gistto delete <gistID> [<gistID> <gistID>]

some other functionalities will come soon but if you guess it will help you, please feel free to use.
