Create Gist from Code for Medium.com

gistsnip

Create multiple gists from code based on annotations.

As an example you may have main.go:

func main() {
    //gistsnip:start:loop
    for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
        fmt.Println(i)
    }
    //gistsnip:end:loop

    //gistsnip:start:example
    fmt.Println("hello world")
    //gistsnip:end:example
}

gistsnip will create two gists:

for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
    fmt.Println(i)
}

and

fmt.Println("hello world")
