Workflow for using github gists as your snippet manager

[danielecook]

Hello - I've developed a workflow for using github gists service as a snippet manager. You simply provide your username and a personal access token and the workflow downloads all of your gists (saving them locally) and enables them to be searched.

 

I've implemented functionality beyond what the github gist service offers including browsing gists by tags (specified with a # sign) and browsings gists by language.

Note that downloading gists takes a minute or so if you have a lot. They need to be manually reloaded currently. Let me know what you think! Thanks.

Great workflow idea! I'll have to see how it works.
