Gist - a git powered paste site
- gcv 18y agoWay cool. Of course, I couldn't resist the temptation to try it out, so I just contributed to polluting it by creating an anonymous "hello, world" paste. Apologies to github. :) I'll definitely use it for real in the future.
- avinashv 18y agoMakes me feel better that I wasn't the only person to do the exact same thing.
- Xichekolas 18y agoI'm sure a ton of people did. I wonder who is going to be the first person to use Gist as the source control for their app. It seems like it does enough that it could work, minus access control I guess. No real point, other than a publicity stunt, but would be amusing.
- avinashv 18y agoSeems like an idea worth pursuing. I write silly mini-games when I'm bored--this would be perfect for that. Publicity stunt: I like that!
- tlrobinson 18y agoNeat, except it doesn't always use the correct syntax highlighting. It seems like it uses filename extensions to determine the language, which can be ambiguous if two different languages use the same extension (I tried saving as Objective-C but it shows it as Matlab. Both use the .m extension)
- pjhyett 18y agoIt'll try to guess the highlighting if you name the file with an extension, otherwise you can select the correct highlighting via the dropdown for the situation you're describing.
- tlrobinson 18y agoI didn't name my paste, I selected the language from the menu: https://gist.github.com/198/bac462c7c01cedb22624147def12c65bbd23f2f5 https://gist.github.com/198/bac462c7c01cedb22624147def12c65b... The weird thing is it seems to use the correct highlighting in the "All Gists" listing.
- schacon 18y agojust pushed a fix for this - thanks for pointing it out. it should be live with the next update.
- mojombo 18y agoHere's a great video that bryanl made showing off gist and what makes it interesting: http://www.vimeo.com/1381658 http://www.vimeo.com/1381658
- bestes 18y agoI like clean and sparse web pages, but this is going too far. How about a "what is this" or "tell me more" link?
- gunderson 18y agothis thing is awesome... i was just hoping someone would build this exact app ... how many times have I had to paste back and forth between pastie and my editor when collaborating on something! Great job github guys.
- jmatt 18y agoIt would be nice if we could add tags to gists so we could add some meaning to the code. Plus it would make it easier to search and find related gists.
- joekarma 18y agohttp://gist.github.com/785 http://gist.github.com/785 Is that supposed to happen?
- Xichekolas 18y agoI'm kind of impressed it only took about 12 hours for that to happen.
