This is a vimscript for creating gists (http://gist.github.com).

For the latest version please seehttps://github.com/mattn/vim-gist.

• Post current buffer to gist, using default privacy option.

    :Gist

• Post selected text to gist, using default privacy option.This applies to all permutations listed below (except multi).

    :'<,'>Gist

• Create a private gist.

    :Gist -p

• Create a public gist.(Only relevant if you've set gists to be private by default.)

    :Gist -P

This is only relevant if you've set gists to be private by default;if you get an empty gist list, try ":Gist --abandon".

• Create a gist anonymously.

    :Gist -a

• Create a gist with all open buffers.

    :Gist -m

• Edit the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).You can update the gist with the ":w" command within the gist buffer.

    :Gist -e

• Edit the gist with name 'foo.js' (you need to have opened the gist bufferfirst).

    :Gist -e foo.js

• Post/Edit with the description " (you need to have opened the gist bufferfirst). >

    :Gist -s something  :Gist -e -s something

• Delete the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).Password authentication is needed.

    :Gist -d

• Fork the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).Password authentication is needed.

    :Gist -f

• Star the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).Password authentication is needed.

    :Gist +1

• Unstar the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).Password authentication is needed.

    :Gist -1

• Get gist XXXXX.

    :Gist XXXXX

• Get gist XXXXX and add to clipboard.

    :Gist -c XXXXX

• List your public gists.

    :Gist -l

• List gists from user "mattn".

    :Gist -l mattn

• Specify the number of gists listed:

    :Gist -l -n 100

• List everyone's gists.

    :Gist -la

• List gists from your starred gists.

    :Gist -ls

• Open the gist on browser after you post or update it.

    :Gist -b

• Useful mappings on the gist-listing buffer:

  • Botho orEnter open the gist file in a new buffer, and close thevim-gist listing one.
  • b opens the gist file in a browser; this is necessary becauseShift-Enter (as was originally) only works for GUI vim.
  • y copies the contents of the selected gist to the clipboard, andcloses the vim-gist buffer.
  • p pastes the contents of the selected gist to the buffer from wherevim-gist was called, and closes the vim-gist buffer.
  • HittingEscape orTab at the vim-gist buffer closes it.

• Gist listing has fixed-length columns now, more amenable to eye inspection.Every line on the gist-listing buffer contains the gist id, name anddescription, in that order. Columns are now padded and truncated to offer afaster browsing, in the following way:

  • The gist id string is fixed at 32 characters.

  • The length (in characters) of the name of the gist is fixed andcan be set by the user using, for example:

    let g:gistvim_namelength = 20

    The default value forgistvim_namelength is 30. If the gist (file)nameexceeds that length, it is truncated to the specified length.

  • Finally, the gist description is truncated in length to fit the remainingof the line, avoiding wrapped lines that mess up the table layout.

  • Note that the gist listing buffer now does not show the field 'code'(not sure what that did in the first place).

If you set g:gist_clip_command, gist.vim will copy the gist code with option'-c'.

• Mac:

    let g:gist_clip_command = 'pbcopy'

• Linux:

    let g:gist_clip_command = 'xclip -selection clipboard'

• Others (cygwin?):

    let g:gist_clip_command = 'putclip'

If you want to detect filetype from the filename:

let g:gist_detect_filetype = 1

If you want to open browser after the post:

let g:gist_open_browser_after_post = 1

If you want to change the browser:

let g:gist_browser_command = 'w3m %URL%'

or:

let g:gist_browser_command = 'opera %URL% &'

On windows, this should work with your user settings.

If you want to show your private gists with ":Gist -l":

let g:gist_show_privates = 1

If you want your gist to be private by default:

let g:gist_post_private = 1

If you want your gist to be anonymous by default:

let g:gist_post_anonymous = 1

If you want to manipulate multiple files in a gist:

let g:gist_get_multiplefile = 1

If you want to use on GitHub Enterprise:

let g:gist_api_url = 'http://your-github-enterprise-domain/api/v3'

You need to either set global git config:

$ git config --global github.user Username

If you want to list more than 30 gists per page (maximum is 100):

let g:gist_per_page_limit = 100

Copy it to your plugin directory.gist.vim will create a curl cookie-jar file in your runtimepath.

• rtp:
  • autoload/gist.vim
  • plugin/gist.vim

If you want to uninstall gist.vim, remember to also remove~/.gist-vim.

You need to install webapi-vim also:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4019

If you want to use latest one:

https://github.com/mattn/webapi-vim

Add the following lines to your.vimrc.

Bundle 'mattn/webapi-vim'Bundle 'mattn/vim-gist'

Now restart Vim and run:BundleInstall.

Add the following line to your.vimrc.

NeoBundle 'mattn/vim-gist', {'depends': 'mattn/webapi-vim'}

• and if you want to use your git profile, the git command-line client.

This plugin supports both basic and two-factor authentication using GitHubAPI v3. The plugin stores its credentials in~/.gist-vim.

First, you need to set your GitHub username in git's global configuration:

$ git config --global github.user <username>

Then vim-gist will ask for your password in order to create an accesstoken. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, vim-gist will alsoprompt you to enter the two-factor key you receive.

NOTE:If you want you can set it directly tog:github_user andg:gist_token.

Whichever type of authentication you use, your GitHub password will not bestored, only a OAuth access token produced specifically for vim-gist. Thetoken is stored in~/.gist-vim. If you stop using the plugin, you caneasily remove this file. To revoke the associated GitHub token, go to thelist of"Authorized applications" on GitHub's "Account Settings"page.

Note: the username is optional if you only send anonymous gists.
