Gistr

The other Ruby command line gister

by Mike Green

Summary

I decided to create Gistr after using the pretty schnazzy Snipplr command line client. The existing gist.rb is cool and I’ve relied on it as a blueprint for Gistr, but I wanted to include some extra functionality based on the Snipplr gem:

  • Ability to list your gists, along with descriptions
  • Download a gist to file, STDOUT, or the clipboard
  • Create a new public/private gist from clipboard data
  • Open/edit gists in your editor of choice and transparently update them when you save.
  • Wrap the whole thing up as a Rubygem for easy installation

Usage
