If you are using a GitHub Enterprise account, be sure to add the appropriate API url. This extension uses the REST v3 API by GitHub. Your GHE API url should look similar to this: http(s)://[hostname]/api/v3 (documentation)

Usage

Create Gists

You must have a file open and active to create a gist.

Press F1 and enter the following:

GIST: Create New Gist

You will be prompted a gist description.

Open/Edit Gists

Press F1 and enter one fo the following:

GIST: Open Gist
GIST: Open Favorite Gist

All files associated with the gist will be opened in group layout.

Once you have opened an owned* gist, saving it will commit a new revision.

* an owned gist is one created by you, not a favorited (starred) gist.

You can also use the following commands:

GIST: Delete Gist
GIST: Delete File
GIST: Add File
GIST: Open Gist In Browser
GIST: Insert Text From Gist File
GIST: Insert Text From Favorite Gist File

Extension Settings

Mostly you will not need to change these settings.

Setting Type Default Value Purpose
maxFiles Number 10 The maximum number of files to open without a prompt.
defaultPrivate Boolean false Defaults all newly created Gists to PRIVATE.
profileOptions Object {} Override profile configuration options.

profileOptions gives you some debugging capabilities. You can provide a profile name along with key, url, and rejectUnauthorized values. Before you can use profileOptions you *MUST* have the profile created.

interface ProfileOptions {
    key?: string; // the personal access token to use
    url?: string; // the REST endpoint to use
    rejectUnauthorized?: boolean; // set this to false if you are having ssl issues with your enterprise REST endpoint
}

An example value for profileOptions would be something like this:

{
    "GHE": { // "GHE" MUST correspond with the name used when originally configuring the profile
        "rejectUnauthorized": false
    }
}
