FAQ

Why is my gist's language classified as "Other"?

Lepton depends on GitHub API to detect the language. If this fails, you can still put // vim: syntax=<your_language> at the top of the gist to specify the language.

// vim: syntax=javascript
let test = 'This is a javascript file'

Why I can't search the gists' content?

Currently, Lepton only supports the search for the gist's description field. This is limited by GitHub's API support.

How to specify the title and tags for my gist?

[title] description #tag1 #tag2
