usage
gister [-h] [-p] [-s] [-a] [-v] make gists! optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -p, --private put gist on configured enterprise github -s, --secret gist will be secret (not public) -a, --anonymous gist will be anonymous -v, --vim gist came from vim, no prompt/history
install
fix weird hgtools dependency issue:
pip install hgtools
clone the repo and
python setup.py install
config file - .gister
an example configuration file .gister
is given for you to use.
it will be looked for in ~/.gister
. it supports three values:
prompt - configure your own prompt (using variables username/hostname/cwd)
history_file - location of shell history file for command display
private_github_url - if you plan on using
-p/--private
this url needs to be set to the location of your private github deployment
keyring
i prefer to store my oauth tokens in keyring because it’s safer than storing it plain text in the .gister file. your python keyring needs to have a section for github with a key token containing a github oauth token linked to your account. if you use the private github, do the same for pgithub and token. i added mine like this: gist.
github oauth tokens
here is a gist of the process by which a token is acquired. the returned dict will have a token key in it denoting your token. you can also manage your tokens by managing your github account and selecting Applications.
using with vim
I added the following to my .vimrc to interact with gister:
" ------- gist making! -------------------------------- fun Gister(...) let gister_call = "gister -v" for flag in a:000 let gister_call = gister_call . " " . flag endfor let result = system(gister_call, expand("%:t") . "\n" . getreg("\"")) echo result endfun " public gist on github from selection or single line vnoremap <F9> y:call Gister()<cr> nnoremap <F9> yy:call Gister()<cr> " secret gist on github from selection or single line vnoremap <F10> y:call Gister("-s")<cr> nnoremap <F10> yy:call Gister("-s")<cr> " public gist on private github from selection or single line vnoremap <F11> y:call Gister("-p")<cr> nnoremap <F11> yy:call Gister("-p")<cr> " secret gist on private github from selection or single line vnoremap <F12> y:call Gister("-p", "-s")<cr> nnoremap <F12> yy:call Gister("-p", "-s")<cr> " ------- end pastie.org ---------------------------
