The gist client in go

Gost is a client for the gist API,it allows you to create and browse the gists ofhttps://gist.github.com/.

You can grab a binary for your platform on thereleases page.

Or else, you can install it from sources:

go get github.com/MaximeD/gost

gost <files name>

You can supply as many files as you want here.

Full example:

gost -p -d "rocking the casbah" fun.go love_gist.rb

will create a private gist with description "rocking the casbah"with two filesfun.go andlove_gist.rb.The resulting url will be copy to your clipboard.

By default, your gists are public.If you want a private one, just add-p to your command.On first run,gost will create a prompt you for your credentialsand store a token in it's configuration file,so that you will have to do this step only once.

To give your gist a description use-d <description>.

To have your browser auto open on the url, use the flag-o.(It will rely onxdg-open).

To update a gist:

gost -u <gist_id_or_url> <files name>

You can supply an optional-d flag to update the description of your gist.

gost -u <gist_id_or_url> -d <new description> <files name>

You can list the gist of a user with the following:

gost -l <username>

gost -g <gist_id_or_url>

Given you have the id of one of your gist and the right to delete it, use-D flag:

gost -D <gist_id_or_url>
